Usage
ANSYS Fluent batch jobs
The execution of FLUENT can also be carried out using a shell script. Below is an example of a shell script named run_fluent.sh that starts a FLUENT calculation in parallel on two nodes with 40 processors each on the bwUniCluster:
1. Using IntelMPI:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=48
#SBATCH --time=2:00:00
#SBATCH --mem=90gb
#SBATCH --partition=cpu
module load cae/ansys/2025R2
source fluentinit
scontrol show hostname ${SLURM_JOB_NODELIST} > fluent.hosts
time fluent 3d -mpi=intel -pib -g -t96 -cnf=fluent.hosts -i test.inp
2. Using OpenMPI:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=2
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=48
#SBATCH --time=2:00:00
#SBATCH --mem=90gb
#SBATCH --partition=cpu
module load cae/ansys/2025R2
source fluentinit
scontrol show hostname ${SLURM_JOB_NODELIST} > fluent.hosts
time fluent 3d -mpi=openmpi -g -t96 -cnf=fluent.hosts -i test.inp
To submit the script to the job management system, run:
sbatch run_fluent.sh
ANSYS CFX batch jobs
The execution of CFX can also be carried out using a script. Below is an example script run_cfx.sh to start CFX with the start method 'Intel MPI Distributed Parallel':
#!/bin/sh #SBATCH --nodes=2 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=48 #SBATCH --partition=cpu #SBATCH --time=0:30:00 #SBATCH --mem=90gb module load cae/ansys/2025R2 source cfxinit cfx5solve -def test.def -par-dist $hostlist -start-method 'Intel MPI Distributed Parallel'
To submit the script to the job management system, run:
sbatch run_cfx.sh
ANSYS Rocky batch jobs
The execution of Rocky DEM can also be carried out using a script. Below is an example script run_rocky.sh to run a Rocky DEM simulation on a GPU node:
#!/bin/bash #SBATCH --output=rocky_job_%j.out #SBATCH --job-name=rocky_job #SBATCH --partition=gpu_a100_short # GPU patition #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --gpus-per-node=1 #SBATCH --mem=30000 # Total memory (MB) #SBATCH --time=00:30:00 # Time limit (hh:mm:ss) module load cae/ansys/2025R2 # Run Rocky DEM Rocky --simulate "/path/to/Test.rocky"
To submit the script to the job management system, run:
sbatch run_rocky.sh
