HFSS15: Integration with Platform’s Load Sharing Facility (LSF)

ANSYS Electromagnetics products support Windows LSF cluster as well as LINUX LSF cluster. Serial analysis, Multi Processing and Distributed Analysis is done on compute resource units assigned by LSF. Models with parametric sweeps can use Large Scale DSO. With LSF, the ANSYS EM job doesn't require graphics. ANSYS EM job’s progress can be monitored through LSF commands or through the dialog opened through Tools>Job Management>Monitor Jobs.... If a temp directory is setup by the LSF cluster administrator, analysis engines use this temp directory, overriding the setting in the ANSYS EM product.

Besides the command line interface, you can also use a Job Management user interface to submit jobs
