Hi guys,

 

I am running a SimLab Injection Molding analysis.

My personal laptop quite weak and and want to run it on HPC.

 

So anyone know what commands should I use to run this analysis in HPC?

Best regards,

James

    I'm not 100% sure, but it is something like this:

     

    You should have the AMS solver installed (it comes with SL installation) and then use the amsMolding script for launching your project. Your model files (.ams, .mdpa, .json) need to be in the current folder, and then call the ams script.

    C:\Program Files\Altair\2022\SimLab\bin\win64\solvers\Ams\hwsolvers\scripts

    Hi Adriano,

     

    Thanks for your response.

     

    When I've finished the setup in SimLab >> Export solver input file

    I got a folder that contain amsMolding.bat here.

    So, next step I just need to using command prompt to change directory to this folder and call the amsMolding scripts.

    The analysis succesfully executed.

     

     

    But I have one question is that when I try to add options -nt to change the number of processors to the analyis like this:

    the analysis still using 7 cores for the run (my current lap has 8 cores).

    Is there any options to change the number of cores?

     

    Many thanks!
