Reply To: Running multiple LS-DYNA simulations with batch files

Hi, you can write a script to submit 80 jobs in sequence (in command line) but you may not be able to visualize the job progress interactively. While the jobs are running, you could rely on certain commands to extract job progress (for example, checking the output in messag/mes0000 files through a script). To open key+d3plot, you can use LSPP batch command. 

However, I suggest taking a look at LS-OPT (optimization tool). This tool has a better job scheduler for ls-dyna runs. You can create a dummy variable for optimization and fire off multiple ls-dyna jobs in sequence or parallel and also monitor job progress interactively. Each run is executed in a unique directory so launching LSPP for d3plots should be straighforward too.
