  Hello,
  
  I want to run Ansys with SMP. From the product launcher, this can easily be done from the High Performance Computing Setup tab. However, when I call ansys in batch mode from an external file, it runs using Distributed Computing. So my question is, how I use SMP when calling ansys in batch mode without using the product launcher?
  
  Thanks

  Found the solution. I manually changed to shared-memory parallel when calling Ansys by using '-smp -np2' in my call command. This link was very helpful; https://www.padtinc.com/blog/starting-ansys-products-from-the-command-line/
