We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

@Vighnesh Natarajan, 

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues running Lumerical simulations on your cluster. To debug/troubleshoot the issue: 

  • What is the operating system and version running on the cluster? 
  • Which Lumerical product/solver are you running? FDTD, MODE, CHARGE, HEAT, or INTERCONNECT?  
  • How are you running the simulation job? Are you using a job scheduler submission script and running this from the Terminal on the cluster head/login node? 
  • What is the job scheduler on your cluster - if you are using one? 
  • Please paste the execution line on the submission script or the command you run on the cluster, if you are not submitting to a job scheduler.
    (e.g. running FDTD with bundled MPICH2)
/install_path/lumerical/v222/mpich2/nemesis/bin/mpiexec -n 32 /install_path/lumerical/v222/bin/fdtd-engine-mpich2nem -t 1 /path_to/simulationfile.fsp
