Aborting Analyses
To end the solution process before it is complete:
- Right-click In the Progress window and click Abort.
Maxwell 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 stop the solution process after the current adaptive pass or solved frequency point is complete:
- Right-click the Progress window, and click CleanStop on the shortcut menu.
Maxwell ends the analysis after the next solved pass or frequency point.
If you request a clean stop between the third and fourth adaptive pass, the solutions for the third and fourth pass will be available once the fourth pass has finished solving.
Ansys Electromagnetics Application as an LSF Job
If you have an Ansys Electromagnetics application running as an LSF job, you can use the command “bkill –s SIGTERM jobid” to terminate an Ansys Electromagnetics 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. See http://www.vital-it.ch/support/LSF/programmer/advanced.html for a detailed description under Signal Handling in Windows.
Linux
For Linux, you can use TERM commands. Sigterm handling for Linux is done in Desktop library. You can abort a running batchsolve on Linux by sending a TERM signal to maxwell.exe
