...replacing <code>port@server</code> with the port number and name of your Abaqus license server. | |||
Your license server must be reachable by our compute nodes, so your firewall will need to be configured appropriately. This usually requires our technical team to get in touch with the technical people managing your license software. Please contact our [[Technical support|technical support]] and we will provide a list of IP addresses used by our clusters and obtain the information we need on the port and IP address of your server. | |||

The gra-vdi machine can be used to run Abaqus interactively with the Sharcnet licenses by any Compute Canada member. Further details regarding how to connect with tigervnc are described below. The license can also be used for running jobs by connecting to dusky.sharcnet.ca. Once connected load the following module: | |||
module load abaqus/2019-sn | module load abaqus/2019-sn | ||
If an | If an Abaqus job fails to get a license upon startup, it must be manually killed otherwise it will sit idle on the compute node until its "sqsub -r runtime" limit is reached, and the queue automatically kills it off. One can tell if a job is in an idle state by inspecting the job output file then killing it with the <code>sqkill</code> or <code>scancel</code> commands. | ||

The best vdi machine at Sharcnet to run Abaqus on interactivly in GUI mode is currently <b>gra-vdi.computecanada.ca</b>. This machine is located at uw therefore the uwo engineering/robarts combined licenses cannot be use. To start Abaqus GUI on gra-vdi do the following:<br> | ||
