# ANSYS
|
|
|
|
This document describes generic information of how to load and run ANSYS software in the Merlin cluster
|
|
|
|
## ANSYS software in Pmodules
|
|
|
|
The ANSYS software can be loaded through **[PModules](../how-to-use-merlin/using-modules.md)**.
|
|
|
|
The default ANSYS versions are loaded from the central PModules repository.
|
|
However, there are some known problems that can pop up when using some specific ANSYS packages in advanced mode.
|
|
Due to this, and also to improve the interactive experience of the user, ANSYS has been also installed in the
|
|
Merlin high performance storage and we have made it available from Pmodules.
|
|
|
|
### Loading Merlin6 ANSYS
|
|
|
|
For loading the Merlin6 ANSYS software, one needs to run Pmodules v1.1.4 or newer, and then use a specific repository
|
|
(called **`merlin`**) which is ***only available from the Merlin cluster***:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
module use unstable
|
|
module load Pmodules/2.0.4
|
|
module use merlin
|
|
module load ANSYS/2024R2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once `merlin` is invoked, it will disable central ANSYS installations with the same version, which will be replaced
|
|
by the local ones in Merlin. Releases from the central Pmodules repository which have not a local installation will remain
|
|
visible. For each ANSYS release, one can identify where it is installed by searching ANSYS in PModules with the `--verbose`
|
|
option. This will show the location of the different ANSYS releases as follows:
|
|
|
|
* For ANSYS releases installed in the central repositories, the path starts with `/opt/psi`
|
|
* For ANSYS releases installed in the Merlin6 repository (and/or overwritting the central ones), the path starts with `/data/software/pmodules`
|
|
|
|
??? note "[Example] Loading ANSYS from the Merlin6 PModules repository"
|
|
```console
|
|
(base) ❄ [caubet_m@merlin-l-001:/data/user/caubet_m]# module use unstable

### ANSYS RSM
|
|
|
|
**ANSYS Remote Solve Manager (RSM)** is used by ANSYS Workbench to submit computational jobs to HPC clusters directly from Workbench on your desktop.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, PSI workstations with direct access to Merlin can submit jobs by using RSM.
|
|
|
|
