USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
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='PortNumber'@license1.uwo.sharcnet
o McGill Mechanical Engineering Department
export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER='PortNumber'@license2.uwo.sharcnet
o UW Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Dept
export LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER='PortNumber'@license3.uwo.sharcnet
Step2 - LOAD LSDYNA MODULE
o For serial or threaded jobs (using ls971 version 6.0.0 or 6.1.0) do:
module load lsdyna/ls971smp6.1.0
o For mpi jobs (using ls971 version 6.0.0 or 6.1.0) do:
module unload intel openmpi lsdyna module load intel/11.1.069 openmpi/intel/1.5.4 lsdyna/ls971mpp6.1.0
o For serial or threaded jobs (using version ls980) do:
module load lsdyna/ls980smpB1
o For mpi jobs (using version ls980) do:
module unload intel openmpi lsdyna module load intel/12.1.3 openmpi/intel/1.4.5 lsdyna/ls980mppB1
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/ls971smp6.1.0/examples /work/$USER/test-lsdyna cd /work/$USER/test-lsdyna/misc/airbag gunzip airbag.deploy.k.gz
o SUBMIT 1CPU SERIAL JOB
sqsub -r 7d -q serial -o ofile.%J --mpp=2G lsdyna_d i=airbag.deploy.k ncpu=1
o SUBMIT 4CPU SMP JOB
sqsub -r 7d -q threaded -n 4 -o ofile.%J --mpp=2G lsdyna_d i=airbag.deploy.k ncpu=4
o SUBMIT 4CPU MPI JOB
sqsub -r 7d -q mpi -n 4 -o ofile.%J --mpp=1G lsdyna_d i=airbag.deploy.k
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:

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