Can we install EDEM on the University HPC cluster and run a simulation using GUI?

(The reason i ask is we have to run Ansys on HPC using batch commands)

Can i do the same thing with EDEM simulation? please let me know

    Hi Shyam,

     

    You can install on a HPC cluster so long as it fulfils the System Requirements 

    The HPC will also need a graphics node if you want to run the GUI.  You can also run EDEM in batch if required.

    How to use EDEM batch

    Regards

    Where do you specify the number of processors that you want to use? lets say i am running this job in a HPC cluster. This is how we run ansys by specifying the number of processors and the job that we want to run on HPC "bsub -Is -n 25 -W 60 Job.csh" in this command 25 stands for the number of processors and 60 stands for the time. In the example you provided I dont see anyplace where i can change the number of processors that i want to assign for the simulation engine. Please let me know where to do that

    Hi Shyam

    Please take some time to go through the EDEM Help to find all the different flags that can be used with the batch mode command: EDEM Help

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
