Hello

I am trying to run acoustic simulation on hpc in mt university and I am encounting two problems:

1. I could not find any information on how to do meshing on cluster and it takes quite long on my own computer
2. The ACT extention is needed. There is a folder with ACT files on cluster verion of ANSYS, however I don't know how to activate it . You can see on the attached screenshot the message I get

The way I run the job is following:  runwb2 -B -F project.wbpj -R script.wbjn
The script file:
# encoding: utf-8
# 2019 R2
SetScriptVersion(Version="19.4.159")
Update()
Save(Overwrite=True)

Hello,
May I know which software you are using for meshing? You can make use of parallel meshing if you are using Fluent meshing, in the volume generation process.

Hello

I am doing modal and harmonic acoustics analysis? so I don't think I use fluent meshing. I just do it from standart workbench interface

Does your cluster have Graphics output? If yes, meshing would be the same as what you would have on windows, but I am assuming you don't have graphics output for the cluster and need to run this in the batch, you can use the same way as you are using currently and as you update the system using script.wbjn mesh should be automatically created. In case it fails you should be able to save the project on the cluster and debug the mesh based on errors you receive.
LS-Dyna extension is not supported on Linux in case you are using it on Linux. If you are using Modal and Harmonic acoustics analysis, I don't think you need that extension.
