Hi all,

I am having trouble launching fluent icing on an hpc with a journal file.
Using the same journal file when launching manually works fine and the multishot simulation begins as expected but when launching on the main cluster I get an error.

This is the contents of my journal file which is located in the same directory as the .flprj project file.

Project.open('/path/to/file/projectFile.flprj')
Project.openSimulation('SimulationName')
csim().Solution.AirflowRun.Load(Filename=r'/path/to/file/File.dat.h5')
Project.newRun('multishot','1shot',-1)
csim().Solution.Interrupt()


This is the line executed on the visualisation node of the hpc, this executes correctly and begins the simulation:
icing -g -t 32 -R load.py

This is the contents of the main cluster PBS queue file:

PBS settings, all standard

ln -s $PWD $PBS_O_WORKDIR/$PBS_JOBID
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
export cpus=cat $PBS_NODEFILE | wc -l
sort -u $PBS_NODEFILE -o fluent_nodes.$$
##
cd /path/to/file/
icing -g -t{cpus} -cnf=fluent_nodes.$$ -R load.py


Executing this job on the hpc results in this error:

Fluent icing loads

Error: state/object/set-state:Invalid value type for data model parameter. Illegal conversion from b to l, data: False

Error Object: ()

Error: state/object/set-state:Invalid value type for data model parameter. Illegal conversion from b to l, data: False

Error Object: ()
Error Object: ("import cx;cx.execFile(r\"load.py\")")
>>> Project.open('/path/to/file/project.flprj')
>>> Project.openSimulation('SimulationName')
-Python script failed-


I can't find any reference to this error in any documentation and I have no idea what to do to fix it. All my attempts have resulted in the same error.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Many thanks
