Running LS-DYNA jobs (either interactively or as a batch job) can be interrupted with sense-switch controls by creating files “d3kil”, “D3KIL” and “switch” in the running directory. This works as expected without the use of any “jobid” definition. However, when using a jobid parameter either using *KEYWORD_ID or in the command line (jobid=jobname), LS-DYNA expects this jobid string to appear in the fiels such as “jobid.d3kil” or “jobid.D3KIL” or “jobid.switch” files in the running directory of the master node.
