Parameter sweep in FEKO7.0 along with parallel computing

Hi,

I am trying to run parameter sweep in FEKO. I used the plugin as I am using version 7.0.  My license allows parallel computing and it's enabled in the CADFEKO application window. However, I am getting a note when I am running the batch file stating that I am using sequential version rather than parallel. Does anyone know how to rectify this?

Thank you

    Hello,

     

    The plugin works by creating different versions of the original model and saving them to a subfolder.  It then creates a batch and shell script that can be used to run the models.  If you would like to run the scripts in parallel, you need to modify the script (*.bat for Windows and *.sh for Linux) and extend the 'ROPTS' value.  The command line descriptions are explained in the User Manual in Chapter 19.2.2: 'Running the parallel version'.

     

    The script needs to be modified so that the command results in something like: 

     runfeko your_model_name -np x

    Note that the plugins are editable and that you can control how the scripts are generated by modifying their code.

     

    I hope this helps!
