Here's the simplest job ever:

executable = /bin/sleep
arguments = 300
queue

I don't have information about Abaqus in particular, but maybe with
something similar?

Since it's for finite element analysis, is it an MPI-type application
with multiple processes communicating with each other across multiple
cores and/or machines? If that's the case, you'd want to look into the
parallel universe. That can be a bit tricky, but it works fine once
you get the hang of it. The pool to which you're submitting needs to
have administratively-configured support for parallel universe jobs.

If it's more geared toward single-machine jobs, then you can submit
it in a similar manner as the sleep job above.

One key thing to remember in any situation is that in the vast
majority of cases you don't need to write a script to submit which
then runs your job. Pretty much everything you'd want to do in a
job-launching script can be done with some combination of +PreCmd,
+PostCmd, file transfers, and the "environment" directive.
