Hello,

I am now using LS-OPT GUI to make the setting and also do the normal run, but since I use university's supercomputer to run it rather than a local computer. I need to load a VNC for remote visualizing and it will takes much more resources than directly run the LS-OPT without a GUI. Also, it would be hard to set an environment (how many cores to use for running LS-OPT and LS-Dyna).

Is there any one knowing how to use commands in run file to submit the job without opening a GUI? Thank you!

The command to run ls-opt in batch mode is, 

/path_to_lsopt_installation_directory/lsopt project_file.lsopt 

The above command is same as running "normal run" using GUI. Therefore, to submit ls-opt process to cluster, create a script and use above batch mode command. This script will run ls-opt process in batch mode and then ls-opt will run ls-dyna jobs on cluster using ls-dyna script that you already have. 

Note that ls-opt process will run on only one node/core, whereas ls-dyna jobs submitted by ls-opt can run on multiple cores.
