On the command line interface of a particular bwHPC cluster a list of all available ANSYS versions can be inquired as followed

$ module avail cae/ansys
-------------------------- /opt/bwhpc/kit/modulefiles --------------------------
cae/ansys/15.0
cae/ansys/16.2

Usage

Loading the Module

If you wish to load a specific version of ANSYS you can do so by executing e.g.:

$ module load cae/ansys/15.0

to load the version 15.0.

You can load the default version of ANSYS with the command:

$ module load cae/ansys

Start commands

To start an ANSYS Mechanical session enter

$ ansys150

To launch an ANSYS FLUENT session enter

$ fluent

The following command is to run the ANSYS Workbench

$ runwb2

Online documention is available from the help menu or by using the command

$ anshelp150

As with all processes that require more than a few minutes to run, non-trivial ANSYS solver jobs must be submitted to the cluster queueing system.

Examples

ANSYS Mechanical batch jobs

The following script could be submitted to the queueing system to run an ANSYS Mechanical job in parallel:

#!/bin/bash
module load cae/ansys
export MPIRUN_OPTIONS="-prot"
export MPI_USESRUN=1
cd Arbeitsverzeichnis
export MACHINES=`/software/bwhpc/common/cae/ansys_inc150/scc/machines.pl`
ansys150 -dis -b -j lal -machines $MACHINES < input.f18


working_dir could start with $HOME or $WORK .

To submit the example script to the queueing system execute the following (32 cores, 1 GB of memory per core, max. time 600 seconds) :

msub -l nodes=2:ppn=16,pmem=1000mb,walltime=600 Shell-Script
