I get a error "An error occurred during a write access to Job-1.mdl file" only when using Abaqus while MATLAB is running.

I am using Abaqus while MATLAB in running. Then Abaqus is executing on the same folder as the current folder of MATLAB, I get an error

An error occurred during a write access to Job-1.mdl file.

This happens only when MATLAB is running in the same folder as Abaqus. Why do I get this error? Is there a workaround?

[MathWorks Support Team]

The error is caused due to a race condition for locks on the file between MATLAB and Abaqus when both point to the same directory. There are two workarounds for this issue which are listed as follows:

1) Change the current directory in MATLAB.

2) Turn off "Auto-refresh view from file system" option which can be found in Preferences-> MATLAB -> Current Folder.
