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