Dear Sir/Madam,

I am running ls-dyna in Linux. When I ran it on screen (foreground) it worked fine,
but when I tried to run it in the background (command: lsdyna i=job.k > out) it got
terminated and returned error message(s) as attached below.
 
Could you please give me some advice on what is the cause of the issue?
 
Your timely help is highly appreciated!
 
Wil Yang

Hello Wei,

How do you run LS-DYNA in the foreground? What process do you use?

To run LS-DYNA, an execution command line needs to be issued at some point. Which command do you use when running in the "foreground"?

 

Reno.

 

[wei.yang]

The command (to run on screen/foreground") is lsdyna i=job.klsdyna i=job.k

[Reno Genest]

Are you sure this is the command you are using? There should not be two i= arguments on the command line.

Here is the command line I use to run SMP on Linux:

/data2/rgenest/lsdyna/ls-dyna_smp_d_R13_0_0_x64_centos610_ifort190/ls-dyna_smp_d_R13_0_0_x64_centos610_ifort190 i=/data2/rgenest/runs/Test/input.k ncpu=-4 memory=20m

Try to specify the complete path of the LS-DYNA solver as in the command line above. 

Which LS-DYNA solver are you using when the run is successful? Have a look at the LS-DYNA banner in the messag file:

 

Reno.

[wei.yang]

"lsdyna" is the default ls-dyna executable filename created from "make", as I am using user subroutines, and I run ls-dyna in the same (working) directory as "lsdyna" is created. Again, the command that works is "lsdyna i=job.k"

[Reno Genest]

Hello Wei,

If lsdyna i=job.k works, why don't you continue using this command?

Which version of LS-DYNA are you using? Does the model work with the regular version of LS-DYNA (without user subroutines). If so, then the problem is likely the user subroutine. 

 

Reno.

[wei.yang]

I use telnet (PuTTY) to log on to HPC when I run ls-dyna, and the connection is NOT always guaranteed to maintain while a job is still ongoing. To avoid ls-dyna jobs being suspended or terminated due to network disconnections, I need to run the jobs in the background, such as using " > out" after "lsdyna i=filename.k ". Hope it is understandable.

[Reno Genest]

Hello Wei,

The HPC cluster should have a solid connection to the license server to avoid interruptions. You should be able to remotely connect to the HPC cluster, launch a run in the "foreground", and then disconnect from the cluster. The run should continue no problem. We do this all the time; we remotely connect to a Linux machine at the office via VPN, start a run on the Linux machine, and then disconnect. The run continues.

I am not sure I fully understand your issue. Could you give more explanations?

Also, I am not sure why using > out creates a problem. It may have to do with the user subroutine which are not officially supported by Ansys. Have you tried running with an LS-DYNA version downloaded from the Ansys website? 

lsdyna.ansys.com

username: user

password: computer

If you still have issues with a regular version of LS-DYNA, then the problem may be model specific. Ansys employees cannot download your model on the Ansys forum. You will have to create a service request on the Ansys customer portal:

support.ansys.com

 

Reno.
