Reply To: Running Lumerical FDTD files on a Campus cluster using Sun Grid Engine (SGE)

Hello, thank you for your quick response. 

I fixed the script to use 4 number of processes and openmpi/4.1.6, then it started running but got the following errors. 
This script outputs "rod_ctab_1_p0.log" for the first time, but it said Error: Could not connect to Ansys license server. 
Do you have any ideas to deal with this issue? I'd appreciate your help.

WARNING: There is at least one non-excluded one OpenFabrics device found,
but there are no active ports detected (or Open MPI was unable to use
them).  This is most certainly not what you wanted.  Check your
cables, subnet manager configuration, etc.  The openib BTL will be
ignored for this job.

mpiexec detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

FDTD Solutions includes two versions of the core simulation engine that allow it
to integrate with different MPI distributions for parallel computation. This
includes Intel MPI and Open MPI compatible engines, as well as a standalone
engine for local multithreaded simulations. Using MPI is strongly suggested
for best performance, for both local and distributed simulations.

This utility analyzes your system to determine which engines are suitable.
If you are planning on integrating FDTD Solutions with your own MPI distribution
please make sure that it is installed and the location of the shared libraries
is included in your system library path (ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH),
otherwise this utility will not be able to detect the correct engine to use.

Please note the name of the engine program that is suitable for your system.
You will need to specify this when configuring your system to run jobs. If you
intend to use the local threaded option, then no configuration is required, this
is the default option.

  1) fdtd-engine            Threaded executable, no external MPI dependencies
  2) fdtd-engine-ompi-lcl   Open MPI (uses libraries from:  /share/apps/openmpi/4.1.6/lib/libmpi.so.40)

Remember that you must use the mpiexec/mpirun command that belongs
to the MPI distribution you are using to start your FDTD engine jobs

Your system path is configured to use the following mpiexec command.
If this isn't the one you intend to use, please update your path,
or ensure that you always use an absolute path to specify the mpiexec
command.

/share/apps/openmpi/4.1.6/bin/mpiexec

Your system path is configured to use the following mpirun command.
If this isn't the one you intend to use, please update your path,
or ensure that you always use an absolute path to specify the mpirun
command.

/share/apps/openmpi/4.1.6/bin/mpirun
