Ansys EM
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite for Linux/Unix.
Note
The University of Sheffield ANSYS licence servers currently only support ANSYS EM 2020 R1 or higher.
Usage
Ansys EM can be activated using the module files:
module load ANSYSEM/21.1/binary
module load ANSYSEM/21.2/binary
Ansys EM is integrated with the Ansys Workbench GUI (the runwb2
executable) for each version.
The Ansys EM exectuable is ansysedt
.
Batch jobs
The following is an example batch submission script which is submitted to the queue by
typing sbatch my_job.sh
:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=8
#SBATCH --mem=2000
#SBATCH --job-name=name_ansysedt_smp_8
#SBATCH --output=output_ansysedt_smp_8
#SBATCH --time=00:30:00
#SBATCH --mail-user=a.person@sheffield.ac.uk
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
module load ANSYSEM/21.1/binary
ansysedt -ng -BatchSolve -Distributed -machinelist num=$SLURM_NTASKS -batchoptions 'HPCLicenseType'='pool' -useElectronicsPPE Tee.aedt
The script requests 8 cores with a runtime of 30 mins and 2 GB of real memory.
The Ansys EM input file is Tee.aedt
and batch options 'HPCLicenseType'='pool'
to change the HPC licencing from “pack” (the default) to “pool”.
Note
The University of Sheffield ANSYS licence servers currently only support ANSYS EM 2020 R1 or higher.
The
-useElectronicsPPE
argument is required if you are using the University of Sheffield ANSYS licence server however if you are using an alternative licencing method (e.g. a flat-file) and one of the older modules this option is unlikely to be required.If you are using an older module the batch options may need adjusting from
-batchoptions 'HPCLicenseType'='pool'
to project type specific options click here and see post 4.If you are using commercial licenses the use of
-batchoptions 'HPCLicenseType'='pack'
is likely compulsory.
