ANSYS on HPC-Clusters

Productivity runs on an HPC-clusters should be done via the scheduler, this means no interactive use of the GUI. You can prepare your calculation on your work station, or on one of the login nodes. 

If you have no, or only basic experience with the batch system, please contact our experts: staff@hpc-hessen.de
