Parallel Ansys

Run Ansys in parallel batch mode from Matlab

Codes: Ansys APDL, Matlab

See

• example: parallel_ansys_test.m and /Ansys/frame_test
• Matlab/parallel_ansys/parallel_ansys.m help file/preamble

Working of the code

1. form blocks with 'n' number of jobs (to be run parallel), start with the first block
2. create temporary folders in the main Ansys working folder for parallel jobs: /job1_tmp, /job2_tmp, ... ,/job'n'_tmp
3. run 'n' jobs/analyses parallel and save the requested results to the corresponding folders
4. collect and copy the requested results to the main Ansys working folder
5. Delete the temporary job folders
6. Go to step 1. and move to the next block if any
