Dear community,<\/p>\n

Due to the large amount of data coming from the simulation, I am now running Ansys remotely in batch mode inside a cluster. I can make it work relatively good with the general command from the Mechanical APDL manual:<\/p>\n

ansys232 -b -p productvar < inputname > outputname 2>&1<\/p>\n

being productvar = mapdl or ansys in my case.<\/p>\n

The thing is that I can only run one input file at a time, making the simulation of interconnected systems very tedious and more time consuming that it should be. For example, if I want to run a thermal analysis followed by a structural one, I need first to prepare the input for the thermal, run the batch mode in the cluster, wait for the result file, upload it to my PC and open it in ansys, get the resulting temperature load from it, generate the input file for the structural and only then run it again in the cluster.<\/p>\n

My question is, is there a way of running (in batch mode) such an analysis at once, with a single input file and in a way that Ansys will automatically get the thermal results and use it as input for the structural?<\/p>\n

I’d appreciate any hints!<\/p>\n

Best regards,
