Example -BatchSolve with -Remote (Windows)
In this example, we run a batch Maxwell analysis of project
file project1.aedt, which contains a 3D design. We want all temporary
files and directories created in directory C:\temp\Maxwell instead of
using the installation default for the temporary directory. We decide
that the analysis will be done on a remote host at IP address 12.34.56.78.
Because of limited memory on the remote host, we decide to run the analysis
using only a single COM engine. Because the remote host has four cores,
we decide to use four processors for the analysis. We can use the
‑Remote option to specify that there will be a
single remote COM engine.
Here is a sample command line for this analysis, where the project file \\somehost\projects\project1.aedt is located in a shared directory specified using a UNC path:
ansysedt -BatchSolve -Remote -Machinelist list=12.34.56.78
-batchoptions "'TempDirectory'='C:/temp/Maxwell'
'Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/NumberofProcessors'=4"
\\somehost\projects\project1.aedt
An alternative is to use the ‑Distributed command
line option. Because the -Machinelist list contains only one host,
there is a single remote COM engine in this case also.
ansysedt -BatchSolve -Distributed -Machinelist list=12.34.56.78
-batchoptions "'TempDirectory'='C:\\temp\\Maxwell'
'Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/NumberofProcessors'=4"
\\somehost\projects\project1.aedt
The second line of the first example shows that you can use the
forward slash (/) as a Windows directory separator within option value
'strings'. In this case, it is used in the TempDirectory path. You can also
use the customary backslash (\) as a Windows directory separator, but it
must be doubled to (\\) because the backslash is also an escape character
within parameter strings. This usage is demonstrated in the second
line of the second example, again in the TempDirectory path.
