Hello,

 

I want to run my fluent case on remote HPC cluster system. I am using windos 10. 

 

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Please refer to the Fluent Users guide for instructions on how to run Fluent on the Windows cluster using command line. I am posting a screenshot of the same. Please let us know here if this is what you are looking for.

Best,

Hi Kremella,

Actually, ANSYS 19.0 is installed on Linux based cluster and I have ssh credentials to connect with it. I want to know that how to write a batch script to submit the fluent.cas and fluent.dat file on the cluster to run the case from windows 10. I am using ANSYS Academic Research Licence. I also want to know that how many nodes I can use for parallel processing.      

 

Thank you.

Batch scripts are covered in Chapter 4 of the Getting Started Manual, but the exact method will also depend on how your cluster is set up: IT may need to advise on that.  Re the number of cores it'll come down to what is available on the hardware and how many parallel licences you have access to.

I am trying to submit the job on the cluster but i am getting an error.

 

 

Thanks

Check with your  IT if the server is down and let them check server and client diagnostics.

Hi 

Error message is saying that could not connect to any license server. I guess this could be an issue with the server. Please check with your IT team about the license is upgraded in the server or not and also on server issues.

Regards,

The server is down or is not responsive.

I have one question, I have set up my case in windows ANSYS 17.2. And in the cluster (Linux OS), it is ANSYS 19.0 (Linux version). is this error because of different OS version or what? 

[DrAmine]

The error is due to licensing issue. Error message is saying that could not connect to any license server. I guess this could be an issue with the server. Please check with your IT team about the license is upgraded in the server or not and also on server issues.

with five academic research licence how many CPUs I can use?

[DrAmine]

So that means your initial problem is resolved. Please mark then this topic accordingly.

A single academic license can run up to 16 CPU cores, or alternatively up to 8 GPU cards. So in order to run on 32 CPU cores you require the academic license task (solver + inbuilt 16 CPU cores) + 16 ANSYS Academic HPC Associate Licences. 

[pawar002]

Hello abenhadj,

So if, I have 4 academic license can i use 4*16 = 64 CPUs?

 

Thank you.

[DrAmine]

No. You need academic HPC licences.

Hi,

 

I run both HPC Server and local computer; however, the scaled residuals are different like one or two orders of magnitude. On my local computer, which is very slow, reached 10^-3 or 10&-4 while just 10^-1 is on HPC at the same iteration. Is this possible?

[DrAmine]

Open new thread please and yes that can be possible if using different partitions versions and not really converged.
