For any complex and computationally heavy jobs, and where partitioning the job over number of cores becomes challenging, the Performance_SSD vault is strongly recommended. The “Elastic_File” vault is recommended for small to medium size jobs, such as Icepak projects, simple linear Mechanical Analysis projects, some HFSS and simple Fluent projects (not multi-phase).

Select vault type: Default vault is “Elastic_File”.

Assign a JOB LABEL (give a name that will help you keep track on your running jobs.In the example above, 1 node represents 4 cores, 2 nodes would be 8 cores). NOTE: Do not confuse number of cores with number of nodes (nodes represent the number of increment of cores that you selected. For a very simple and small model, you can leave default selection, which in this case would be “4” or move the scroll bar to the desired number of cores or simply type over “4” the number of cores you wish to run your job on (we left it default in this case): The machine type you selected in the previous step, will dictate the increment in the number of cores that you can choose/select.

The decision on machine type selection is based on size and complexity of your model and cost associated with the machine type (some machines will have higher RAM, others will only run the job on single CPU, others will have better graphics and therefore higher cost, etc). Under Machine type when you click on the caret on the right, you can select the type of machine you want to run your job on. Cloud set-up screen opens and here you must choose some of your settings by clicking on the Tabs on the top of the window (General, Optional, etc) one tab at a time.ġ. Select the Mechanical APDL option as shown below:ģ. NOTE: If the option is not available in the first page menu, press on “ More” at the bottom of the page as shown in the image below:Ģ. A splash window will open. To access Mechanical APDL on Nimbix Cloud, the following steps are required:ġ. Select the desired ANSYS Multiphysics release from the Compute dashboard

The focus in this article is to describe the steps for performing a multiphysics analysis in Ansys Mechanical APDL by accessing ANSYS MULTIPHYSICS. This article uses the same interface, same workflow as Mechanical APDL (aka Mechanical Classic) that is described in a separate article.

This article describes the workflow for accessing ANSYS APDL on the Nimbix Cloud, for performing a multiphysics analysis.
