CFX

Cardinal

ANSYS CFX (called CFX hereafter) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program for modeling fluid flow and heat transfer in a variety of applications.

Availability and Restrictions

CFX is available on the Cardinal Cluster. You can see the currently available versions in the table on the main Ansys page here.

Occasionally, jobs that experience problems may generate emails from staff or automated systems at the center with some information about the nature of the problem. This page provides additional information about the various emails sent, and steps that can be taken to address the problem.

Problem description

A common problem on our systems is that a user's job causes a node out of memory or uses more than its allocated memory if the node is shared with other jobs.

Ascend, Cardinal, Pitzer

Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) is a program package for ab-initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and electronic structure calculations.  It is based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials.

Owens, Pitzer

SSHing directly to a compute node at OSC - even if that node has been assigned to you in a current batch job - and starting VNC is an "unsafe" thing to do. When your batch job ends (and the node is assigned to other users), stray processes will be left behind and negatively impact other users. However, it is possible to use VNC on compute nodes safely.

This knowledge base is a collection of important, useful information about OSC systems that does not fit into a guide or tutorial, and is too long to be answered in a simple FAQ.
