Ansys is fully migrated from the Owens cluster to the Cardinal cluster on December 17, 2024.
ANSYS offers a comprehensive software suite that spans the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation that a design process requires. Supports are provided by ANSYS, Inc.

The Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement (AMBER) package, which includes AmberTools, contains many molecular simulation programs targeted at biomolecular systems. A wide variety of modelling techniques are available. It generally scales well on modest numbers of processors, and the GPU enabled CUDA programs are very efficient.
HyperWorks is a high-performance, comprehensive toolbox of CAE software for engineering design and simulation.

The batch scheduler is configured with a number of scheduling policies to keep in mind. The policies attempt to balance the competing objectives of reasonable queue wait times and efficient system utilization. The details of these policies differ slightly on each system. Exceptions to the limits can be made under certain circumstances; contact oschelp@osc.edu for details.

Several commands allow you to check job status, monitor execution, collect performance statistics or even delete your job, if necessary.
Status of queued jobs
There are many possible reasons for a long queue wait — read on to learn how to check job status and for more about how job scheduling works.

Job scripts are submitted to the batch system using the sbatch command. Be sure to submit your job on the system you want your job to run on, or use the --cluster=<system> option to specify one.
Standard batch job
Most jobs on our system are submitted as scripts with no command-line options. If your script is in a file named myscript:

ANSYS FLUENT (called FLUENT hereafter) is a state-of-the-art computer program for modeling fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries.
Availability and Restrictions
FLUENT is available on the Cardinal Cluster. You can see the currently available versions in the table on the main Ansys page here.

Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has a variety of software applications to support all aspects of scientific research. We are actively updating this documentation to ensure it matches the state of the supercomputers. This page is currently missing some content; use module spider on each system for a comprehensive list of available software.
