Running in parallel on a cluster

You can run a thermal, flow, or coupled thermal-flow analysis in parallel on a cluster using a scheduler. This is done outside of this software directly from the TMG Executive Menu in a command prompt window, using the ND switch.

You need the Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow DMP license to run the analysis on a cluster.

Note:

Ensure that the NXSIM_MPI_ROOT environment variable is not set.

For more information, see Thermal and Flow DMP Manual .
