Unfortunately, the case setup is most convenient with the Fluent GUI only. Therefore, we recommend doing all necessary GUI interactions on your local machine beforehand. As soon as the case setup is complete (geometry, materials, boundaries, solver method, etc.), save it as a *.cas file. After copying the *.cas file to the working directory of the supercomputer, this prepared case (incl. the geometry) just needs to be read [file/read-case], initialized [solve/initialize/initialize-flow], and finally executed [solve/iterate]. Above, you will find examples of *.jou (TUI) files in the job scripts.

Iff If you cannot set up your case input files *.cas by other means you may start a Fluent GUI as a last resort on our compute nodes.
But be warned: to keep fast/small OS images on the compute node there is a minimal set of graphic drivers/libs only; X-window interactions involve high latency.
