Hi, We have slurm 16.05.4 and the latest version of Abaqus we use is 6.14. I remember running into a similar problem with Abaqus so I wrote some bad bash to populate the host list file; http://www.tchpc.tcd.ie/node/1261
The github script seems to be doing something similar but in a better way. Yes, I too remember thinking it was poorly designed or implemented in Abaqus at that time too.
