License

The IQ HPC Platform has a CMC Microsystems license server dedicated to Ansys. Each user must configure their license:

  1. Create the ~/.licences/ansys.lic file with this content:

setenv("ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE", "6624@ip39.ccs.usherbrooke.ca")
setenv("ANSYSLI_SERVERS", "2325@ip39.ccs.usherbrooke.ca")

  1. Send an email to CMC Microsystems (mcsupport@cmc.ca) with your full name, the name of the person providing you withe the license, your username on the IQ HPC Platform, and the address of the license server (ip39.ccs.usherbrooke.ca).

  2. CMC Microsystem will activate your license after a few hours, or a few days at most. Once this is done, you can use Ansys as described below.

Modules

The Ansys modules are the same as on Alliance clusters. For example:

[alice@ip09 ~]$ module load ansys/2023R2
