SHELL 22.1

Adding Ansys LS-DYNA Versions to the SHELL

The list of Ansys LS-DYNA versions that can be accessed through the SHELL is controlled through an ASCII file called "dyna_versions".

Note the format of this file was changed in version 9.3 and an additional column has been inserted before the label field for MPP codes which identifies which MPI library the version has been compiled with.

The format for SMP versions of Ansys LS-DYNA is :
<Code Type>	<precision>	<executable>		<label>
The format for MPP or HYBRID versions of Ansys LS-DYNA is :
<Code Type>	F <precision>	<executable>	<MPP Type>	<label>

Where:

<Code Type>	Is either SMP (shared memory parallel), SERIAL (single threaded non parallel), MPP (distributed memory parallel) or HYBRID.
<precision>	Is either Single (32 bit floating point) or Double (64 bit floating point).
<executable>	Is the full path of the executable. If the full path name of the executables includes any spaces then the path must be enclosed in "s.
<MPP Type>	This is a string that can be used to identify the MPP library a MPP version of Ansys LS-DYNA has been compiled with. This column is not defined for SMP or SERIAL codes.
<label>	Is the label shown in the list of Ansys LS-DYNA versions displayed in the submission SHELL.

HYBRID	Double	/dyna/mpp971_d_R5.1.1_65550_..._hybrid.exe	HP-MPI	LS971 R5.1.1 DP HYBRID HP-MPI

Would display a menu containing 8 versions of Ansys LS-DYNA.

WINDOWS

Code Type	precision	executable	MPP Type	label
SMP	Single	"C:\LS-DYNA\ls971_s_R3_1_win32_p.exe"		Win32 SP LS971vR3.1
SMP	Double	"C:\LS-DYNA\ls971_d_R3_1_win32_p.exe"		Win32 DP LS971vR3.1
MPP	Single	"C:\LS-DYNA\mpp971_s_R3.1_win32_mpich125.exe"	MPICH	Win32 SP LS971vR3.1 (MPICH)

MPP	Single	"C:\LS-DYNA\mpp971_s_R3.1_win64_hpmpi.exe"	HPMPI	Win64 SP LS971vR3.1 (HPMPI)
MPP	Double	"C:\LS-DYNA\mpp971_d_R3.1_win64_hpmpi.exe"	HPMPI	Win64 SP LS971vR3.1 (HPMPI)

If MPP jobs are going to be run across multiple machines and the Ansys LS-DYNA executables are located on a network disk then the full UNC path should be specified instead of the local drive letter.

Code Type	precision	executable	MPP Type	label
MPP	Single	"\\SERVER\LS-DYNA\mpp971_s_R3.1_win64_hpmpi.exe"	HPMPI	Win64 SP LS971vR3.1 (HPMPI)
MPP	Double	"\\SERVER\LS-DYNA\mpp971_d_R3.1_win64_hpmpi.exe"	HPMPI	Win64 SP LS971vR3.1 (HPMPI)
