Users from the following institutions have access to their own institution licenses and should join the corresponding software group. To join a software group, login to my.nci.org.au first, search for the group by the software group name, and use the tab `Join` on its project page to submit the membership request. It may take up to 1 business day for the lead CI to respond. Once your group membership request is approved, the corresponding licence module becomes visible and ready for use. Run `module avail ansys` to list all ansys related modulefiles. Jobs need to load the license module together with the application module to run CFX.

* NCI owns an academic ANSYS license file which provides 25 CFD feature seats and 128 HPC feature seats. Users who have no access to the above licenses are welcome to join the software group ansys_nci to enable the access to modulefile ansys_licence/nci and the checkouts from licence ansys_nci.

A sample batch job for running a CFX job is as follows:

Code Block
languagebash
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -q normal
#PBS -l walltime=00:10:00
#PBS -l ncpus=96
#PBS -l mem=Gb
#PBS -l wd
#PBS -l software=ansys_<institution>

module load ansys/2021r1
module load ansys_licence/<institution>

export CFX5_OPENMPI_DIR=$OPENMPI_ROOT
cfx5solve -def "StaticMixer.def" -part $PBS_NCPUS -start-method Gadi_openmpi

This script will work for an arbitrary number of cpus, please choose it carefully according to your problem size.
