Computational fluid dynamics solver focused on turbo-machinery (vertex-centered FVM)

General Information

The ANSYS software package is developed and distributed by ANSYS, Inc..

This documentation describes the specifics of installation and usage of ANSYS at HLRN. Introductory courses for ANSYS as well as courses for special topics are offered by ANSYS Inc. and their regional offices, e.g. in Germany. It is strongly recommended to take at least an introductory course (see the CAD-FEM GmbH homepage).

Details of the HLRN Installation of ANSYS

The ANSYS versions currently installed are

Usage and Licensing at HLRN

The use of Ansys is restricted to members of the ansys user group. You can apply to become a group member at support[at]hlrn.de
Please note the license conditions: Our academic licenses are restricted to students, PhD students, teachers and trainers of public institutions. They cannot be used in projects that are financed by industrial partners.

Licences

Important: Always add
#SBATCH -L ansys
to your job script.

The flag "#SBATCH -L ansys" ensures that the scheduler starts jobs only, when licenses are available.
You can check the availability yourself: scontrol show lic

  • aa_r is a "ANSYS Academic Research License" with 4 inclusive tasks. Research jobs with more than 4 tasks cost additional "aa_r_hpc" licenses.
  • aa_t_a is a "ANSYS Academic Teaching License" with a maximum of 4 tasks. These may be used only for student projects, student instruction and student demonstrations. Eligible users are allowed to activate these, by adding the flag

    Activation of the aa_t_a license
    -lpf $ANSYSLIC_DIR/prodord/license.preferences_for_students_and_teaching.xml

    to the Ansys executable, such as "cfx5solve". The path $ANSYSLIC_DIR is provided after loading any Ansys module. Alternatively, eligible users are allowed to redefine their command "cfx5solve" with

    Redefining cfx5solve for students
    source $ANSYSLIC_DIR/cfx5solve_redef_with_student_lic

    after loading the Ansys module inside the job script. This will append the flag "-lpf ..." to "cfx5solve" automatically if less than 17 task are requested.
