We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

When Workbench LS-DYNA 19.2 to 2019R3 submits MPP LS-DYNA RSM job to Windows HPC 2012 R2 or 2016 cluster, RSM job may finish immediately without generating result files (d3plot), e.g. in RSM job report log: Running Solver : \headnodeAnsys Incv192ansysbinwinx64LSDYNA.exe I=input.k S= input.intfor x=70 -dis -mpi msmpi -np 16 MEMORY= 400M Setting the environment: ANSYS_DIR=\headnodeAnsys Incv192ANSYS Executing mpiexec -np 16 “\headnodeAnsys Incv192ANSYSbinwinx64lsdyna_mpp_sp_msmpi.exe” i=input.k s= input.intfor x=70 memory= 400m Command Exit Code: 0 Upgrade MS MPI to latest version (10.0) doesn’t help.

      Download latest version (11.0.0) of MPP-DYNA executables for MS MPI: ftp://user:computer@ftp.lstc.com/mpp-dyna/R11.0.0/win64/ls-dyna_mpp_d_R11_0_0_winx64_ifort131_msmpi.zip ftp://user:computer@ftp.lstc.com/mpp-dyna/R11.0.0/win64/ls-dyna_mpp_s_R11_0_0_winx64_ifort131_msmpi.zip Extract the downloaded 2 zip files to a temp folder, rename ls-dyna_mpp_s_R11_0_winx64_ifort131_msmpi.exe to lsdyna_mpp_sp_msmpi.exe ls-dyna_mpp_d_R11_0_winx64_ifort131_msmpi.exe to lsdyna_mpp_dp_msmpi.exe On head node, go to C:Program FilesANSYS Incv192ansysbinwinx64 folder, rename lsdyna_mpp_sp_msmpi.exe to lsdyna_mpp_sp_msmpi.exe.original lsdyna_mpp_dp_msmpi.exe to lsdyna_mpp_dp_msmpi.exe.original l2a.exe to l2a.exe.orginal Copy the new lsdyna_mpp_sp_msmpi.exe, lsdyna_mpp_dp_msmpi.exe and l2a.exe to this folder. Resubmit Workbench LS-DYNA job to Windows HPC through RSM. Note: This solution is tested in 2019R3 as well. If ANSYS license manager is started with -ali_tls_version 1.2 flag in ansysli_server (or ANSYSLI_TLS_VERSION=1.2 in ansyslmd.ini), need to remove it and restart ANSYS license manager. Otherwise, the new MPP LS-DYNA executable gets licensing issue.
