6.1. ANSYS

You could run interactive use like in these examples.

GUI

$ module load ansys
$ launcher

CLI

$ mapdl

The following command could be used instead of the mapdl command.

When ANSYS 18.2 is loaded. The name of the command is different among the versions.
$ ansys182
Type exit to exit.

You could also specify the input file to run it with batch mode.

Example 1:
$ mapdl [options] < inputfile > outputfile
Example 2:
$ mapdl [options] -i inputfile -o outputfile

You could submit a batch job like in this example.

#### in case, sample.sh
$ qsub sample.sh

The following is a sample job script for MPI

#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
#$ -l f_node=2
#$ -l h_rt=0:10:0

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
module load ansys

mapdl -b -dis -np 56 < inputfile > outputfile

A sample script for GPU

#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
#$ -l f_node=1
#$ -l h_rt=0:10:0

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
module load ansys

mapdl -b -dis -np 28 -acc nvidia -na 4 < inputfile > outputfile

When you execute the following command, license Usage Status is displayed.

$ lmutil lmstat -S ansyslmd -c 27001@lice0:27001@remote:27001@t3ldap1

6.2. Fluent

#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
#$ -l f_node=2
#$ -l h_rt=0:10:0

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
module load ansys

JOURNAL=journalfile
OUTPUT=outputfile
VERSION=3d

fluent -mpi=intel -g ${VERSION} -cnf=${PE_HOSTFILE} -i ${JOURNAL} > ${OUTPUT} 2>&1

The following is a sample job script: MPI parallel (h_node)

#!/bin/bash
#$ -cwd
#$ -V
#$ -l h_node=1
#$ -l h_rt=0:30:0

module load ansys

JOURNAL=journalfile
OUTPUT=outputfile
VERSION=3d

fluent -ncheck -mpi=intel -g ${VERSION} -cnf=${PE_HOSTFILE} -i ${JOURNAL} > ${OUTPUT} 2>&1

Since it is not possible to set across resources using f_node, set #$ -l {resource name}=1 (for example, #$ -l h_node=1 for h_node) and include the "-ncheck" option in the command.
