    ANSYS MAPDL 
    ===========
    
    **[ANSYS
    Multiphysics](http://www.ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Structural+Mechanics/ANSYS+Multiphysics)**
    software offers a comprehensive product solution for both multiphysics
    and single-physics analysis. The product includes structural, thermal,
    fluid and both high- and low-frequency electromagnetic analysis. The
    product also contains solutions for both direct and sequentially coupled
    physics problems including direct coupled-field elements and the ANSYS
    multi-field solver.
    
    To run ANSYS MAPDL in batch mode you can utilize/modify the
    default mapdl.pbs script and execute it via the qsub command.
    
    `
    #!/bin/bash
    #PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=16
    #PBS -q qprod
    #PBS -N $USER-ANSYS-Project
    #PBS -A XX-YY-ZZ
    
    #! Mail to user when job terminate or abort
    #PBS -m ae
    
    #!change the working directory (default is home directory)
    #cd <working directory> (working directory must exists)
    WORK_DIR="/scratch/$USER/work"
    cd $WORK_DIR
    
    echo Running on host `hostname`
    echo Time is `date`
    echo Directory is `pwd`
    echo This jobs runs on the following processors:
    echo `cat $PBS_NODEFILE`
    
    module load ansys
    
    #### Set number of processors per host listing
    #### (set to 1 as $PBS_NODEFILE lists each node twice if :ppn=2)
    procs_per_host=1
    #### Create host list
    hl=""
    for host in `cat $PBS_NODEFILE`
    do
     if [ "$hl" = "" ]
     then hl="$host:$procs_per_host"
     else hl="${hl}:$host:$procs_per_host"
     fi
    done
    
    echo Machines: $hl
    
    #-i input.dat includes the input of analysis in APDL format
    #-o file.out is output file from ansys where all text outputs will be redirected 
    #-p the name of license feature (aa_r=ANSYS Academic Research, ane3fl=Multiphysics(commercial), aa_r_dy=Academic AUTODYN)
    /ansys_inc/v145/ansys/bin/ansys145 -b -dis -p aa_r -i input.dat -o file.out -machines $hl -dir $WORK_DIR

    Header of the pbs file (above) is common and description can be find on
    [this
    site](../../resource-allocation-and-job-execution/job-submission-and-execution.html).
    [SVS FEM](http://www.svsfem.cz) recommends to utilize
    sources by keywords: nodes, ppn. These keywords allows to address
    directly the number of nodes (computers) and cores (ppn) which will be
    utilized in the job. Also the rest of code assumes such structure of
    allocated resources.
    
    Working directory has to be created before sending pbs job into the
    queue. Input file should be in working directory or full path to input
    file has to be specified. Input file has to be defined by common APDL
    file which is attached to the ansys solver via parameter -i
    
    License** should be selected by parameter -p. Licensed products are
    the following: aa_r (ANSYS **Academic Research), ane3fl (ANSYS
    Multiphysics)-**Commercial**, aa_r_dy (ANSYS **Academic
    AUTODYN)>
