HFSS15: Submit the Large Scale DSO Job: Examples

This section includes examples of submitting a Large Scale DSO job using Ansoft RSM and a Scheduler.

Using the Ansoft RSM Environment

1. Before submitting the job make sure that the input project is not open in any HFSS Desktop window.

2. For this example, suppose that there are two quad-core machines on your cluster with the names "m1" and "m2". Further suppose that there are two engines per machine, for a total of four parallel engines. Let the number of processors allocated to each engine be 1.

3. From a command prompt, issue the following command:

<installation-directory>/<platform>desktopjob.exe -cmd dso -machinelist "list=m1:2,m2:2" -batchoptions \sjo7nahfssprojshfssoptions.txt -batchsolve "TeeModel"Optimetrics:ParametricSetup1" \sjo7nahfssprojsOptimTee.hfss

where the file \sjo7nahfssprojhfssoptions.txt has the following contents:

$begin Config

'HFSS/Preferences/NumberOfProcessors'=1

'HFSS/Preferences/NumberOfProcessorsDistributed'=1

'HFSS/Preferences/NumberOfProcessorsPostProc'=1

'HFSS/Preferences/UseHPCforMP'=0

'HFSS/Preferences/SaveBeforeSolving'=0

'HFSS/Preferences/MemLiimitHard'=0

'HFSS/Preferences/MemLimitSoft'=0

'HFSS/Preferences/HPCLicenceType'='pack'

#end 'Config'

4. Suppose the above job is assigned ID "jobID".

Using a Scheduler Environment (such as LSF)

1. Suppose you want to solve variations using four parallel engines, each engine being assigned a single core.

2. From a command prompt, run the following command:

bsub -n 4 <installation-directory>/<platform>/desktopjob.exe -cmd dso -batchoptions \sjo7nahfssprojshfssoptions.txt -batchsolve "TeeModel:Optimetrics:ParametricSetup1"\sjo7nahfssprojsOptimTee.hfss

where the file \sjo7nahfssprojhfssoptions.txt has the same contents as the RSM example above.

3. Suppose the above job is assigned an ID "jobid"
