Example Workflow

The following example workflow shows how multiple applications can be chained together to implement an HPC pipeline using HPCBOX. This example describes using ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS CFDPost.

Workflow

Step-1 (ANSYS Fluent)​

In the first step of this workflow, ANSYS Fluent is set up to execute on 180 CPU cores using InfiniBand on Microsoft Azure. A journal file which runs the solver and then generates a CFDPost compatible cdat file for use by CFDPost for post-processing is passed an option to the Fluent command.

Step-1

Sample Journal

/rc fluent.cas.gz
/solve/init/init
/solve/iter 150
/file/export/cfd-post-compatible fluent.cdat
(*)
(*)
(*)
yes
/exit
yes

Step-2 (ANSYS CFDPost)​

In the second step, ANSYS CFD-Post is set up execute on an NVIDIA GPU powered Graphics node to take the results from the first ANSYS Fluent step and execute a .cse script which generates a post-processing report.
