#Ansys help how to
For this reason, we need special instructions for each ANSYS package on how to start a parallel job. Unfortunately, none of them supports our Slurm scheduler.
#Ansys help software
The ANSYS software suite comes with multiple implementations of MPI to support parallel computation. In addition some products can read and open databases from releases before Ansys 18.1. Next open a ticket with and send us the four pieces of information and indicate which systems(s) you want to run ANSYS on for example Cedar, Beluga, Graham/Gra-vdi or Niagara.Īs explained in ANSYS Platform Support the current release (2021R2) was tested to read and open databases from the five previous releases.
#Ansys help license
Ensure the administrator is willing to open the firewall on these three ports to accept license checkout requests from your ANSYS jobs running on Compute Canada systems. To start this process, contact your local ANSYS license server administrator and obtain the following information 1) fully qualified hostname of the local ANSYS license server 2) ANSYS flex port (commonly 1055) 3) ANSYS licensing interconnect port (commonly 2325) and 4) ANSYS static vendor port (site specific). The number of cores that can be used with a CMC license is described in the Other Tricks and Tips section found here.īefore a local institutional ANSYS license server can be reached from Compute Canada systems firewall configuration changes will need to be made on both the institution side and the Compute Canada side. Setenv("ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE", specific settings for are given in the following who purchase a CMC license subscription must send their Compute Canada username to otherwise license checkouts will fail. If you have your own license server, write the information to access into file $HOME/.licenses/ansys.lic using the following format: Our module for ANSYS is designed to look for license information in a few places.
#Ansys help full
The full ANSYS documentation (for the latest version) can be accessed by following these steps:


If this is not the case, please contact our Technical support, so that we can arrange this for you.Īvailable modules are: fluent/16.1, ansys/16.2.3, ansys/17.2, ansys/18.1, ansys/18.2, ansys/19.1, ansys/19.2, ansys/2019R2, ansys/2019R3. You should then be able to load the ANSYS modules, and it should find its license automatically. In some cases, this has already been done. This will require our technical team to get in touch with the technical people managing your license software. The license server on your end will need to be reachable by our compute nodes. Once the legal aspects are worked out for licensing, there will be remaining technical aspects. However, many institutions, faculties, and departments already have licenses that can be used on our cluster. This means that we have ANSYS software installed on our clusters, but we do not provide a generic license accessible to everyone. It includes packages such as ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS CFX.Ĭompute Canada is a hosting provider for ANSYS. ANSYS is a software suite for engineering simulation and 3-D design.
