We encountered problems with our infrastructure for several hours starting at about 4:25pm on Friday. The issues are now resolved. Your batch jobs may or may not have been impacted. See this email for details. Last Updated Friday, Apr 19 08:12 pm 2024

STAR-CCM+

The license for running STAR-CCM+ is provided through the College of Engineering. To request a starccm+ license as part of your Slurm job use the licenses feature of sbatch and salloc:

sbatch --licenses=starccm_ccmpsuite:1 …

Alternatively use a comment in a bash script:

#SBATCH --licenses=starccm_ccmpsuite:1

module load starccm+
# To load a specific version: module load starccm+/9.02.007

To see all available versions:

module avail starccm+

Putting it together in an example:

#SBATCH --licenses=starccm_ccmpsuite:1

module load starccm+/9.02.007

echo "Machinefile:"
machinefile=$(/fslapps/fslutils/generate_mpich_machinefile)
cat "$machinefile"
echo "----"

starccm+ \
    -mpi intel \
    -mpiflags "-bootstrap slurm" \
    -np $SLURM_NTASKS \
    -machinefile "$machinefile" …

			rm "$machinefile"

Please do not use the Platform MPI or OpenMPI drivers. In the past we recommended using the OpenMPI driver, but we had issues with it binding to invalid processor ids.
