Hello everyone,
Currently, LS-DYNA is running only in combination with the LSTC_FILE and the LSTC license. Since our LSTC license is limited to just one CPU, I would like to switch to the ANSYS license.

The current LSTC_FILE contains the following:

#LICENSE_TYPE: network

#LICENSE_SERVER: ourservername

When I change it to:

#LICENSE_TYPE: ANSYS

#LICENSE_SERVER: ourservername

the LSTC license is still being used.

What do I need to write in the LSTC_FILE to ensure that the ANSYS license is used instead?

Thank you!

Christoph

I would try removing LSTC_FILE and unset the env variables. To use LS-DYNA solver with Ansys license, you only need to define the below env, no need to define the LSTC_LICENSE_SERVER. 

export LSTC_LICENSE=Ansys

Note that you will need any additional env you generally set for Ansys license, such as ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE.

@igandiko Will this allow me to use Ansys HPC Pack to increase the parallel cores for an LSDYNA run?
