Running job in batch mode

  For mechanical analysis there is a batch mode but I can't find it for fluid analysis. Is it normal?
  
  According to another topic "How to use the remote submit by solver mode "batch" in AIM?", it seems that RSM is not compatible with AIM. In this case, how to manage my cpu to avoid to run Mechanical and AIM analysis on the same CPU?

  Hi JD
  Batch Mode can be opted with both ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS Fluent. In case you are facing any issues with these, I suggest you to please use ANSYS Customer portal to raise a separate query.
  While Batch mode is also supported in AIM, remote solving on clusters is not supported as of now. Batch mode can be opted by going to “Launch Controls” under “Physics tab in AIM as shown below:
  Regarding the conflict, there is no available option at the level of program settings to control this and in case both Mechanical and AIM are running on your machine, they may run on different cores or share the same depending on number of available cores. This may have an impact on the runtime of your solutions but isn’t expected to have any other adverse effect.
  However beyond ANSYS or Discovery Settings, the generic options available with Windows task manager can be helpful in having some control on the CPU usage. You can “Set Priority” or use “Process affinity” to govern which cores are to be used for which task in case you like to.
  Please let me know if you are facing any specific problem running both AIM and Mechanical.
  Thanks & Regards,
  Gaurav

    I can see that the option is no longer there. Let me check with the team and I will get back to you soon on this.

    I have learnt that the default "Solver mode" behavior in AIM is switched to "Batch" and the "Live" solver option is now removed. This was done for both, performance and to remove some defects associated with the "Live" solver mode.
