Ansys

Versions of Ansys Fluent and CFX are installed for Leeds researchers who have access to either their own or a departmental license. This supports the Infiniband interconnect so can be used for jobs of >24 (for ARC3) or >40 (for ARC4) processors in size.

Information on Ansys can be found on the Ansys Website.

Setting up the license

The license is obtained by setting the ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE variable. To set it in bash do:

$ export ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=<port>@<host>

To get the values of <port>@<host> specific to your group/department please contact the Client IT Team via Service Now.

To make Ansys Fluent and CFX available for use:

$ module add ansys

The command above loads the default version of Ansys (i.e. Ansys 17.2 on ARC3, and Ansys 2023R1 on ARC4).

To load a specific version of Ansys, specify this on the module command:

$ module add ansys/2022R1
