HFSS15: Aborting an Analysis

To end the solution process before it is complete:

• Right-click In the Progress window and click Abort.

HFSS ends the analysis immediately.

The data for the currently solving pass or frequency point is deleted. All previously solved solutions are retained. For example, if you abort between the third and fourth adaptive pass, the solutions for the third pass will be available, and any solutions for the fourth pass are discarded.

To abort the solution process after the current adaptive pass or solved frequency point is complete:

• Right-click the Progress window, and click Clean Stop on the shortcut menu.

HFSS ends the analysis after the next solved pass or frequency point.

If you request a clean stop between the third and fourth adaptive pass, the solutions for the third and fourth pass will be available once the fourth pass has finished solving.

ANSYS EM Application as an LSF Job

If you have an ANSYS EM application running as an LSF job, you can use the command “bkill –s SIGTERM jobid” to terminate that application. Here jobid is the LSF job id. The response will be “Job <jobid> is being signaled”. The response is the same whether the job is actually being signaled or not.

This works correctly on a 32 bit version of Windows XP, using a 32 bit version of LSF.

In cases where the SIGTERM parameter is ignored, the command kills the LSF job, but does not clean the lock files, and other files may not be in a consistent state. See http://www.vital-it.ch/support/LSF/programmer/advanced.html for a detailed description under Signal Handling in Windows.

Unix/Linux

For UNIX/Linux, you can use TERM commands. Sigterm handling for Unix is done in Desktop library. You can abort a running batchsolve on Unix by sending a TERM signal to hfss.exe
