Altair HyperWorks

To load the software just type:

$ module load altair/HyperWorks/14.0

Interactive mode is like starting graphical user interface for post/pre processing. You need to used a dedicated node for that:

Connect to : mesoshared@univ-fcomte.fr using NXClient

To start HyperMesh for example, after loading module hyperworks with modules, juste type :

$ hm

Connect to cluster to submit jobs: mesologin1.univ-fcomte.fr

We need to start 2 jobs, for compilation and for computation.

Compilation jobs will generate necessary files for the execution part.

Compilation part

This phase needs a lot of memory depending on the number of SPMD parameters (-np)

radioss_compile.sge

#!/bin/bash 
 
#$ -N radioss_compile    ## script name
 
#$ -q all.q         ## queue to use 
 
#$  -l h_vmem=12G    ## request memory 12g/core
 
export OMPI_NUM_THREADS=1
 
## load the software
 
module load altair/HyperWorks/14.0
 
##Number of SPMD part to generate
 
SPMD=16
 
cp $ALTAIR_HOME/hwsolvers/bin/linux64/radflex_14_linux64 .
 
s_14.0.240_linux64 -input hubys_2m3_0000.rad -np $SPMD

This will generate 16 files for the computation part (.rst).

Submit your job

$ qsub radioss_compile.sge

Computation part (MPI)

radioss_compute.sge

 
#!/bin/bash 
 
#$ -N radioss_compute    ## script name
 
#$ -q parallel.q         ## queue to use 
 
#$  -pe mpi 16           ## request 16 MPI cores
 
#$  -l h_vmem=4G         ## request memory 2g/core
 
#$  -l radioss=1         ## for licence
 
#$  -o compute.$JOB_ID.out
 
#$ -V 
 
export OMPI_NUM_THREADS=1
 
## load the software
 
module load altair/HyperWorks/14.0
 
 
cp $ALTAIR_HOME/hwsolvers/bin/linux64/radflex_14_linux64 .
 
mpiexec.hydra -np $NSLOTS e_14.0.240_linux64_impi -input hubys_2m3_0001.rad

Submission

$ qsub radioss_compute.sge

Note that computation job depends on compilation one.

SGE allows to run jobs in sequence.

We first run the compilation part with name radioss_compile

qsub -N radioss_compile radioss_compile.sge

And just after :

qsub -hold_jid radioss_compile radioss_compute.sge
