Submitting your Simulation Job

Once you have checked your simulation, submit the simulation job to the scheduler.

How to submit your simulation job?

  1. Open HPC Job Manager .

  2. In the Action panel, click New Job .

  3. Specify the Job Details.

  4. In the Edit Tasks tab, click Add and select Basic Task.

  5. In the Command line,

    1. Type the following command line: 

           mpiexec -env ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=1055@ServerName -genvlist CCP_CLUSTER_NAME,CCP_JOBID,ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE -n 6 ./SPEOSHPC.exe -speos Path\File.speos -parameters

      -genvlist CCP_CLUSTER_NAME,CCP_JOBID displays the simulation progress in the Windows HPC job manager.

    2. Modify -n 6 with the number of nodes to use for running the simulation.

    3. Modify Path\File.speos according to the .speos file you want to submit.

    4. Modify -parameters as needed according to the provided parameters (command lines).

  6. In the Working directory field, type the absolute path of the SPEOSHPC.exe application.

  7. In the Standard output field, define a .txt file output used as job progression report.

  8. In the Standard error field, define a .txt file output used as job error report.

  9. Specify the minimum and maximum number of nodes to use for the job according to your cluster size.

  10. Click OK.

    To reuse a task to avoid specifying all parameters each time you submit a job, click Save Task File. Then, click Add and select From Task File when submitting a new job.

  11. Click Submit.

    Depending on the workload of the cluster, your job may start immediately or later.

    The higher number of nodes and simulation time you request, the lower priority the simulation job in the scheduler queue.
