HFSS15: Integration of ANSYS EM Products with LSF

With LSF you do not need to setup ‘Distributed Analysis Machines’ or ‘Remote Machine’ in the Tools>General Options>Analysis Options tab. Instead, you submit an HFSS job to LSF, requesting appropriate resources for this job (number of processors, memory per processor, etc.). For example:

bsub –n 1 hfss.exe –Batchsolve –ng –local OptimTee.hfss

bsub –n 4 hfss.exe –Batchsolve –ng –Distributed OptimTee.adsn

The HFSS job is queued by LSF until the requested resources are available. Upon resource availability LSF starts HFSS.exe with the specified command line on one of the allocated machines. During analysis, HFSS dynamically obtains the allocated ‘Distributed Analysis Machines’ from LSF. HFSS interfaces with LSF to launch engines on remote machines without going through Ansoft RSM.
