- Double-click the Abaqus component icon
.The Abaqus Component Editor appears. -
From the Abaqus Component Editor, click the Grid tab.
The tab appears with no grid option selected.
-
Select LSF from the Grid Type
list.
-
Select the type of operating system that the LSF system is running using
the Target Machine list.
You can select either Windows (64-bit) or Linux (64-bit).
-
Select the correct release of Abaqus using the Abaqus Release
list.
You can select any release of Abaqus from this list.
-
Click Generate Script.
The script that is used to submit the job to an LSF cluster appears
in the large text box at the bottom of the tab.
-
Edit the generated script directly in the large text box, as necessary.
For example, you may need to add cpus=N for MPI
jobs or *StudyRunCount* to supply design study
information from Isight
to Abaqus for reduced Abaqus license token consumption, when appropriate.
Note:
The Command is Script File check
box cannot be used with the component. This setting can be ignored.
-
Enter the following information, as desired.
You can edit one or all of the values. You can also accept the default
values.
Option | Description |
---|
Queue | Specifies the queue where the job should
run. You can obtain the available queue names from the LSF “bqueues”
command. Refer to the bsub -q
option on the man page for more information. |
---|
Hosts | Lists the candidate hosts (space-separated)
where the job should run. Refer to the bsub -m option for more
information. |
---|
Resources | Specifies the resource requirements
for the LSF job. Refer to the bsub -R option for more information. |
---|
Number of Parallel Job Processors | Specifies
the number of processors to be used by Abaqus when running in MPI mode.
It must match any ncpus= argument on the Abaqus command in the
script (as mentioned in Step 6) or the job may fail. |
---|
Note:
The Automatically transfer input/output files
(bsub-f) should not be used in this scenario, since the component
probably does not contain all necessary files as file parameters. Only
the use of a shared filesystem is supported.
-
To use any
bsub arguments that are not provided in
the component editor, click Advanced to access
the Additional Grid Options dialog box.
-
Type the commands in the large text area using standard
bsub
command-line option syntax (see the bsub man page).
Line breaks are ignored, so the commands can be space-separated and/or
on separate lines.
Typically, these options are those that are used less frequently. However,
there may be a need for them in specific scenarios. For example, you
could use -G for fairshare scheduling or -M
to change the per-process memory limit.
-
Click OK to return to the Abaqus Component
Editor.
-
Click OK to save your changes and to close the
Abaqus Component Editor.
