 +
These usage instructions apply to the module based installation of lsdyna found under directory <i>/opt/sharcnet/lsdyna</i> on licensed clusters shown in the above Availability Table.  To access and use this software you must be a member of the <b><i>lsdyna</i></b> group. Users who belong to a licensed department will be given a 5 digit port number.  The value should then be inserted into the appropriate departmental export statement before loading the module file as follows:
 +
 +
<b>Step1 - SPECIFY SHARCNET SERVER</b>
 +
 +
o UWO Civil and Environmental Engineering Dept
 +
<pre>export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER=<font color=blue>Port_Number</font>@license1.uwo.sharcnet</pre>

<br><U><b>CHECKING JOB STATUS</b></U>
 +
 +
To check the status of your job in the queue use the sqjobs command.  On x86_64 systems you can check whether any of your jobs are queued on the license server use <i>lstc_qrun</i>.  Its possible that sqsub will start your job but it will sit idle until enough license are available on the license server and the lstc_qrun command will reveal this:

Full list of SHARCNET supported software


USAGE INSTRUCTIONS</u>

These usage instructions apply to the module based installation of lsdyna found under directory /opt/sharcnet/lsdyna on licensed clusters shown in the above Availability Table. To access and use this software you must be a member of the lsdyna group. Users who belong to a licensed department will be given a 5 digit port number. The value should then be inserted into the appropriate departmental export statement before loading the module file as follows:

Step1 - SPECIFY SHARCNET SERVER

o UWO Civil and Environmental Engineering Dept 

export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER=<font color=blue>Port_Number</font>@license1.uwo.sharcnet

o McGill Mechanical Engineering Department 

export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER=<font color=blue>Port_Number</font>@license2.uwo.sharcnet

o UW Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Dept 

export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER=<font color=blue>Port_Number</font>@license3.uwo.sharcnet


Step2 - LOAD LSDYNA MODULE

For serial or threaded job do: 

module load lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0

For mpi (mpp) jobs do: 

module load lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0mpp

Step3 - RUN AIRBAG EXAMPLE

To run lsdyna in single precision specify lsdyna_s on the sqsub command line, to run in double precision specify lsdyna_d. The following shows sample sqsub jobs submission for the airbag example http://www.dynaexamples.com/examples-manual/misc/airbag to the serial, threaded and mpi queus on sharcnet. 

cp -a /opt/sharcnet/lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0/examples /work/$USER/test-lsdyna
cd /work/$USER/test-lsdyna/misc/airbag
gunzip airbag.deploy.k.gz

o SUBMIT 1CPU SERIAL JOB 

module load lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0
sqsub -r 7d -q serial -o ofile.%J --mpp=2G <i>lsdyna_d</i> i=airbag.deploy.k ncpu=1 
Elapsed time: 96 seconds

o SUBMIT 4CPU SMP JOB 

module load lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0
sqsub -r 7d -q threaded -n 4 -o ofile.%J --mpp=2G <i>lsdyna_d</i> i=airbag.deploy.k ncpu=4
Elapsed time: 187 seconds

o SUBMIT 4CPU MPP JOB 

module load lsdyna/ls971r6.0.0mpp
sqsub -r 7d -q mpi -n 4 -o ofile.%J --mpp=1G lsdyna_d i=airbag.deploy.k
Elapsed time: 60 seconds


<U>CHECKING JOB STATUS

To check the status of your job in the queue use the sqjobs command. On x86_64 systems you can check whether any of your jobs are queued on the license server use lstc_qrun. Its possible that sqsub will start your job but it will sit idle until enough license are available on the license server and the lstc_qrun command will reveal this: 

[roberpj@saw:~] lstc_qrun
Defaulting to server 1 specified by LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER variable
                     Running Programs
    User             Host          Program              Started       # procs

No programs queued


CHECKING LICENSE DETAILS

At the time of this writing UWO is running on a 4cpu demo license as follows:
