ANSYS is a general purpose finite element program. Many different types of problems may be analyzed using the code. Examples include structural, thermal, magnetic field, electric field, coupled field and fluids analyses.
ANSYS is also a self contained program in that the Pre-processor (model definition), Processor (solver) and Post-processor (output) are all integrated into a single code. All of these components may be accessed either through a graphical user interface (GUI) or through execution commands.
You can set the environment for a session by typing source $SOFT/ansys in the terminal. Successfully sourcing ANSYS should reveal a screen similar to the text below detailing options for launching different ANSYS versions:
The options -g yes or no is to use the GUI. The options "yes" or "blank" indicate that the GUI is on, and "no" indicates that the GUI is off.
And -j jobname is to name the initial jobname that will be assigned to the files generated during the ANSYS session. If the -j option is not used then all files will be assigned the name FILE.
When using the GUI, you can exit the ANSYS program by either choosing Exit under File in the ANSYS Utility Menu or choose QUIT from the ANSYS Toolbar. With either selection the "Exit from ANSYS" window will appear requesting which information to save from the session. After making your selection, choose OK to exit or Cancel to continue your ANSYS session. When exiting, click OK then move the mouse into the ANSYS_Output window and press Return to close the window.
If you are not using the GUI, the /exit command will terminate your ANSYS session.
Hardcopy output may be obtained from ANSYS in two ways. The first method provides a quick and easy means of generating hardcopies of the ANSYS graphics window in postscript format. The hardcopy command is found by clicking on the PlotCtrls option of the ANSYS Utility Menu and choosing Hard Copy (for screen or graphic window) or Capture Image (for graphic window only). Once the PS Hard Copy or Image Hard Copy window appears, the desired options may be selected and the output is generated. To print, select Print To and Enter. [Command: lpr -P printername]
The stand alone ANSYS graphics utility program DISPLAY provides the second and more advanced option for producing hardcopy output. DISPLAY allows for greater control of the printout (i.e. scaling functions) and it also allows for alternate graphics formats (i.e. HPGL format). This utility can be used to plot, print or export neutral graphic files on desired formats. Neutral graphic files are created in the ANSYS program. Information on using DISPLAY is contained in the document Printing in ANSYS.
The following command nohup ansys < ansys.input > ansys.output & will run your ANSYS file (ansys.input) in the background on one of the servers. The "nohup" will enable the program to keep running after you log off the server. The "&" will tell the server to run the command in the background. "Ansys.output" is where your output will be stored.
eCADFEM offers a wide range of the world's leading FEM simulation programs that can be used "on demand" via a direct Internet connection and a prepaid contingent. In other words: You rent a license and only the time (wall-clock-time) will be deducted from your prepaid contingent when you have checked out the license.
In addition to sporadic use, eCADFEM offers the decisive flexibility and cost-effectiveness to react to short-term peaks or bottlenecks in project management. And not just for one user, but for several users at the same time.
For the dial-in to our eCADFEM server, either the fixed, publicly visible IP address of your firewall is stored for your account, or alternatively a LM_PROJECT environment variable provided by CADFEM.
You install the software locally as a client installation on the computers within your LAN that are to use eCADFEM. The information for downloading the software is contained in the e-mail for activating your access.
In addition, set up the setup required for eCADFEM with port release (TCP outgoing) and setting the system variables. For the technical setup we have prepared a PDF, which you can download from our eCADFEM portal. Our CADFEM support team will be happy to assist you with the setup of eCADFEM.
After local installation and setup you can already start with eCADFEM. The connection to our eCADFEM server is established by starting the program. The dial-in stored for your eCADFEM account (Firewall-IP or LM_PROJECT environment variable) is transmitted to our server at the request and recognized as authorized. The connection is allowed, and the released products can be used locally and within your PrePaid quota.
After reaching or falling below a certain residual value, you will automatically be informed the following day with an e-mail notification, so that you can conveniently and timely book a new contingent before complete consumption.
The Software License Agreement will also be issued to this contact (unless otherwise agreed) and sent by e-mail for signature. This contact will be listed on the license agreement as support coordinator for the software manufacturer.
The eCADFEM maintenance included per quota is independent of the maintenance of possibly existing local licenses and entitles to use the latest software version, which was valid until the end of the maintenance period and was downloaded from the Ansys Customer Portal before the end of the maintenance period.
With eCADFEM you profit equally from innovations and further developments of the software packages of the respective software producer. It is our goal to release software updates on eCADFEM within the earliest possible time after the official release date. We inform our eCADFEM customers about this by e-mail and about the news on our eCADFEM portal. Also the use of the previous release - depending on the license mechanism of the respective software manufacturer - is given retroactively for a certain period of time. For the use of previous releases, however, the current prices and conditions apply, the connection times are billed with current prices.
The cumulated connection time (wall-clock-time) of preprocessing, postprocessing, solver - i.e. the total connection time including idle times from program start to program termination and end of connection - is calculated. As the user, you are responsible for the proper use and useful life.
eCADFEM enables the simultaneous use of several products, licenses and by one or more users at the same time. The billing is per task(s) and per cumulative usage time (elapsed time). The sessions are recorded to the second, accumulated per product (increment line) and automatically debited from the prepaid quota:
The password-protected customer area (login) is located at the top right of our eCADFEM portal. For each eCADFEM account a login and password will be assigned to the eCADFEM account manager. You will receive this personal login and password via e-mail confirmation (eCADFEM activation) from our eCADFEM team. In case of a personnel change, we recommend for your own safety to have the login data changed.
With your personal login and password, you can keep track of your current credit balance at all times, and with a calendar function you can select the connection times that have already taken place. The credit values and sessions represent the value of the previous day, 24:00 hours. The course of the sessions is provided with automated timestamps at 00:00 o'clock and 12:00 o'clock. These are system markers and do not correspond to actual start or end times of the connection. The eCADFEM account manager and the users are equally responsible for the proper use and duration of the connection as well as for the secure handling of the login and access data for the use and monitoring of eCADFEM.
CADFEM is not obliged to point out or reimburse any possible inadvertent use of eCADFEM or unintended connection times. The connection times will be charged regularly. We therefore recommend regular monitoring of the connection times.
Your currently activated dial-in for eCADFEM is stored for you in the password-protected customer area.
Also your current expiration date of your eCADFEM maintenance as well as your account entries or account shortfalls at the closing date and of course your current credit balance per product group as well as the currently activated modules.
As the eCADFEM account manager, you will receive your personal login and password via e-mail confirmation (eCADFEM activation) from our eCADFEM team. For your own security, we recommend that you have your login data changed in the event of a personnel change.
Until when your eCADFEM maintenance is running, you can check at any time in the password-protected customer area. Please note our instructions for eCADFEM maintenance on our eCADFEM portal regarding the SetUp Fee (for new eCADFEM customers and for existing eCADFEM customers without valid eCADFEM maintenance). For orders the current prices and conditions apply.
The password-protected customer area (login) is located at the top right of our eCADFEM portal. As eCADFEM account manager you will receive your personal login and password by e-mail (eCADFEM activation) from our eCADFEM team. In case of a personnel change we recommend you to change the login data for your own safety.
In order to facilitate the quota management for our eCADFEM customers, an entry for an automatic notification by e-mail can be made. Thus a new quota can be booked in time, before the current quota is used up. The notification is sent once to an e-mail address that you inform us of in advance.
When will the notification be sent?
All eCADFEM sessions recorded between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 are cumulated at midnight and are displayed on the portal on the following day. The evaluation and debiting of the accumulated sessions against the respective eCADFEM accounts takes place in the morning at 4 a.m. on the following day.
If the agreed amount for notification has been reached or fallen short of as a result of the debit, the automatic e-mail notification is also triggered around 4 a.m..
