Ansys

Ansys Software is available on the Lovelace Cluster. Graphical Ansys software, such as Ansys workbench, can be used with X11 Forwarding. An example is given below.

Ansys Workbench with X11 Forwarding

To initiate a Graphical User Interface session, connect to the login node with X11 Forwarding enabled (please Login and access the internal site https://docs.lovelace.plymouth.ac.uk/private/ for instructions on this). Assuming that you have set up an ssh host named lovelace referring to the login node and you are on a supported platform, simply run:

ssh -XY lovelace
module load ansys
srun --x11 runwb2

Ansys Workbench will run on a compute node but its interface will be visible to you on your local device.
