PRIMER 22.1

Submission Options

Submission Options

"Submission Options" define the Ansys LS-DYNA settings required to run the model on the specified machine.
All the specified values in this section can be saved in a PRIMER JSON settings file under the bookmark label name given in the Submission bookmark input textbox.
The user can Add/Edit/Remove a submission bookmark by pressing relevant buttons.
The settings are saved into the PRIMER settings file by pressing the "Save Settings" button on the main panel.
These settings can be loaded and edited/removed in subsequent PRIMER sessions.
  1. Precision Type : SINGLE or DOUBLE.
  2. Code Type : SMP (Shared memory parallel), MPP (Distributed memory parallel), HYBRID.
  3. MPI Type : Type of platform to run MPP/HYBRID LS-DYNA.
    By default, PRIMER supports only these MPI types:
    • Windows : HPMPI, IMPI (Intel MPI), MSMPI (Microsoft MPI), MPICH2.
    • Linux : HPMPI, IMPI (Intel MPI), PMPI (Platform MPI), OPENMPI.
    To submit Ansys LS-DYNA with other MPI types, the tool can be configured in the 'oasys.submit' file.
  4. LS-DYNA Executable/Path : The Ansys LS-DYNA executable must match to the selected Precision/Code/MPI types.
    The Ansys LS-DYNA executable can be chosen from the list contained in the optional 'dyna_versions' file:
    • If no 'valid' LS-DYNA executables are found, the user needs to select a 'Local LS-DYNA Executable' .
    • Add Version button adds the selected Local Ansys LS-DYNA executable into the 'dyna_versions' file for future use.
  5. MPI Executable Path : The path to the MPI executable to run the Ansys LS-DYNA MPP program.
    The path to the different MPI executables can also be specified in the 'oasys.submit' file.
  6. Submission Type : Ansys LS-DYNA jobs may be submitted using 4 different submission methods.
    • ONLINE : Submit jobs interactively.
    • QUEUE : Submit jobs to NQE batch queues using 'qsub' or equivalent commands.
      The option is available 'only if' the 'oasys_queue' file is available.
      The Queue Options are available in the "More Submission Options" panel.
    • BACKGROUND (LINUX Only) : Submit jobs in background.
    • BATCH (LINUX Only) : Submit jobs into a batch queue using the LINUX 'batch' command.
  7. NCPU : Specifies the maximum number of processors that you want to run Ansys LS-DYNA on.
    • This option will be of significance only if your system supports parallel versions of Ansys LS-DYNA.
    • The value selected will override the number of processors specified on any *CONTROL_PARALLEL card in the input deck.
