Introduction

Ansys Fluent is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. It is widely used for industrial research and development and academic simulations.

License

This software is proprietary, a license is necessary in order to use it. If you want to test this payload on a real use-case, please get in touch with our team: qlab@qarnot.com.

Version

Here is the current available version on Qarnot:

If you are interested in another version, please send us an email qlab@qarnot.com.

Prerequisites

Before launching a computation task, please ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:

• Create an account (here)
• Retrieve your authentication token (here)
• Install one of Qarnot’s SDK (Python) (Node.js) (C#) (Commande Line)

Launching a use-case

Here is an example of how to run an Ansys-Fluent use-case on the platform. It assumes that:

• you have access to a license,
• your use-case includes data and a .jou file in a use-case folder in your working directory.

ansys-fluent.py

To launch the computation on Qarnot, copy the following code in a Python script in your working directory. Be sure you have copied your authentication token in the script (instead of <<<MY_SECRET_TOKEN>>>) and execute python3 ansys-fluent_mpi-test.py.

Launching a MPI test

Ansys-Fluent mpitest can run without license. To start a MPI test on Qarnot, copy the following code in a Python script. Be sure you have copied your authentication token in the script (instead of <<<MY_SECRET_TOKEN>>>) to be able to launch the task on Qarnot.

ansys-fluent_mpi-test.py

To run this script, open a terminal in your working directory and execute python3 ansys-fluent_mpi-test.py. It will launch the MPI test on Qarnot.

Monitoring

At any given time, you can monitor the status of your task on Tasq.
