####  Run job

 Firstly, we create a new job named 'simulation-test'.

   ![job-1.png](/sites/g/files/omnuum4601/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/srtsandbox/files/job-1.png?itok=y9WDsIJw) 

 

 You can use the default settings, or change certain options (i.e. multiple processors) so that Abaqus can use more computation resources and complete the job faster.

 Then **Submit** the job.

 You can monitor the progress of the simulation by clicking on **Monitor**. A new window will pop up. In the **Step Time/LPF** column you can see the completed percentage of that step.

####  Result processing

 Once the simulation finishes, you can observe and analyze the results by clicking on the **Results.** If you need to keep your results, they are saved in a large **.odb** file, typically in the TEMP folder or in the same directory as your model (**.cae**) file.

 In **Visualization** module, the navigation arrows in the top right corner of the screen allow you to scroll through the step increments and see how the manipulator deforms. The figure below shows that the manipulator finish Step-1, and at the beginning of Step-2.

 In homepage, we define the load capacity as the load moment when the manipulator's loaded end is on the same height with its fixed end, so we continue to click navigation arrows and use '**Tools > Query'** to check the tip point's (red) displacement. As marked in red box, the tip point's displacement in the z-axis is -1.85mm when the time equals 0.52, which can be approximated that the tip has reached the same height with fixed end.

 Thus, the load on the manipulator's tip can be calculated as (0.2 - 0.15\*0.52)\*2 = 0.244 N. Notice that the load is gradually exerted and proportional to step time. Besides, the force is exerted on two points, so it's multiplied by 2.

 Then, use **Distance** to get the distance (248mm) between two selected points.

 So, the moment is calculate as 0.244\*0.248 = 0.0605 N/m. This value is calculated under a 2 mm thickness condition. For the real structure, the thickness is 60 mm, so the real moment is about 0.0605\*60/2 = 1.82 N/m.
