First script

script-1.sh runs the Distributed Memory Parallel version of Ansys on Fidis with 1 node and 28 cores

Submit the job with the command:

sbatch script-1.sh

Second script

script-2.sh runs the Distributed Memory Parallel version of Ansys on Fidis with 2 node and 56 cores

Submit the job with the command:

sbatch script-2.sh

Note:

1. The total number of parallel tokens is limited, so experiment with fewer cores first (such as 8 and 16). Increase the number of cores only when there is a significant performance gain.

2. For the older version ANSYS 17.1, the following path setting may be needed

For module like mechanical:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/ssoft/spack/external/ansys/17.1/v171/Electronics/Linux64/defer:/ssoft/spack/external/ansys/17.1/v171/commonfiles/MainWin/linx64/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11SLES

For runwb2:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/ssoft/spack/external/ansys/17.1/v171/Framework/bin/Linux64/Mesa
