Postprocessing

To postprocess on Ansys Gateway powered by AWS, you can create a Linux virtual desktop with the LS-PrePost application, or add LS-PrePost to the Slurm controller virtual desktop (see Adding Applications to a Virtual Machine in the User's Guide). You will have direct access to your NFS storage run files. You can then launch LS-PrePost on GNOME Desktop from your shared storage with lspp d3plot.

To create a virtual machine, follow the steps in Create a Virtual Desktop with LS-DYNA. You do not need to install the LS-DYNA application, only LS-PrePost.

For improved pre/postprocessing performance, a dedicated graphics card is required. Ansys recommends a g4ad or g3 instance type.
