LS-DYNA
LS-DYNA is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems. LS-DYNA is provided by the Livermore Software Technology Corporation.
Installed on blacklight.
Usage
- Create a batch job containing commands to:
- Use the module command in a batch job.
- Load the appropriate ls-dyna module.
module load ls-dyna
loads the module for the default version of ls-dyna. There are multiple versions available. Typingmodule avail ls-dyna
lists the available versions. Choose the appropriate module for the version you want to use. For example, to use version 971-R5.0, typemodule load ls-dyna/971-R5.0
- Run ls-dyna.
Each version has more than one executable available. Be sure to choose the right executable for your needs. To check which executables are available for a given version, first load the module for that version, then type
which executable
You will get a message displaying the path to the executable, if it exists, or a "Command not found" message.Executable names are found in the table below. In general, mpp-dyna or hyb-dyna may be faster than ls-dyna in parallel.
Threaded ls-dyna-s ls-dyna-d MPI mpp-dyna-s mpp-dyna-d Hybrid
(only in v 5.1.1 and later)hyb-dyna-s hyb-dyna-d
- Submit the job with the qsub command.
