LS-DYNA is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems. See the LS-DYNA homepage for more information.

• The LS-DYNA license file is on /usr/local/etc/LSTC_FILE.txt
• The LS-DYNA package must be run with the hpmpi package which is licensed for use only with ls-dyna.  The hpmpi package is on /opt/hpmpi/.  The package should be run with the -IBV flags to insure that it used the Infiniband Fabric for communications.
• The ls-dyna executable is on /opt/lsdyna:
  • mpp971_d_7600.2.1224_PGI_linux86-64_hpmpi -- double precision version
  • mpp971_s_7600.2.1224_PGI_linux86-64_hpmpi -- single precision version
• The following is an example MOAB job for 64 nodes script:

#!/bin/bash

#MOAB -l nodes=64
#MOAB -j oe

cat $PBS_NODEFILE
export  LSTC_FILE=/usr/local/etc/LSTC_FILE.txt
cd /home/jmcdon/scratch/3cars64
/opt/hpmpi/bin/mpirun  -np 64 -IBV -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE \
