We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

@Vighnesh Natarajan, 

Try using 'mpiexec' with OpenMPI instead of 'mpirun' as show in the example in our KB.
>>Running simulations with MPI on Linux – Ansys Optics 

## using the install path for OpenMPI shown ##
/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpiexec -n 96 /share/apps/lumerical/v222/bin/fdtd-engine-ompi-lcl -t 1 {PROJECT_FILE_PATH}

Have you tried running with the Lumerical bundled MPICH2? Does it have the same issue?  

/share/apps/lumerical/v222/mpich2/nemesis/bin/mpiexec -n 96 /share/apps/lumerical/v222/bin/fdtd-engine-mpich2nem -t 1 {PROJECT_FILE_PATH}
