Legacy Clusters

Fluent Job Submission

The following three files should be placed into a directory under /scratch/username or /work/username.
From this directory jobs can be submitted as explained below. Note that fluent jobs should never be
submitted from a directory under /home/username

i) initialized dat file

ii) proven functional cas file
iii) corresponding journal file.

As of October 2009 a new command "ansysstat" is available on all clusters which shows total number of
fluent licenses that are checked out from the central license server. The SHARCNET license allows a
total of 25 jobs to run at one time. If you submit a job to the queue but all ansys licenses are already in
use (when your jobs attempts to run) then it will sit idle (though appear running according to sqjobs) until
sufficient ansys license are available for up to 24hours before being killed - in such cases you will see the
error message Fatal error has happened to some of the processes! Exiting.
