Aborting an Analysis

To end the solution process before it is complete:

• Right-click In the Progress window and click Abort.

  The solver ends the analysis immediately.

The data for the currently solving pass or frequency point is deleted. All previously solved solutions are retained. For example, if you abort between the third and fourth adaptive pass, the solutions for the third pass will be available, and any solutions for the fourth pass are discarded. You must manually remove any solved results you do not want to keep.

To abort the solution process after the current adaptive pass or solved frequency point is complete:

• Right-click the Progress window, and click Clean Stop on the shortcut menu.

  The solver ends the analysis after the next solved pass or frequency point.

If you request a clean stop during the third adaptive pass, the solution for the third pass will be available once the third pass has finished solving, but the fourth pass will not run.

Ansys EM Application as an LSF Job

If you have an Ansys EM application running as an LSF job, you can use the command "bkill -s SIGTERM jobid" to terminate that application. Here jobid is the LSF job id. The response will be "Job <jobid> is being signaled". The response is the same whether the job is actually being signaled or not.

In cases where the SIGTERM parameter is ignored, the command kills the LSF job, but does not clean the lock files, and other files may not be in a consistent state.

Linux

For Linux, you can use TERM commands. Sigterm handling is done in the Desktop library. You can abort a running batchsolve by sending a TERM signal to hfss.exe
