C.1. Advanced Settings for Linux or Windows Systems

In the Run Settings > Linux Settings panel (or Windows Settings panel), you can find the Advanced Settings section. Using the options in this section will allow you to create Ansys Forte job scripts that are configured for use on the remote system.

Run Initialization Commands is a text block where you can specify any commands that you want executed prior to the start of the overall run (single job or parameter study). You can use this section if you need to receive a node list from a batch queuing system and construct a hosts file for use by MPI or otherwise configure a cluster on-the-fly for use by your Ansys Forte runs. You can also use this to perform any time or date logging or other job submission logging activities.

Run Forte Environment Setup Path (Override) can be specified if you generate the run scripts on one computer, but then plan to zip everything (analysis directory and run directories) and copy to another machine or cluster to run. This gives you the ability to specify the Ansys Forte setup location (forte_setup.ksh or run_forte_setup.bat) on the target machine or cluster. This location will be used when generating the scripts.

Run Finalization Commands is a text block where you can specify any commands that you want executed at the completion of the overall run (single job or parameter study). You can use it for logging, stopping MPI daemons, or other cleanup activities that may be required on your computer servers or to automate harvesting of results and transfer of results to another computer for post-processing.
