Ansoft Hfss
HFSS is the industry-standard software for S-parameter, Full-Wave SPICE traction, and 3D electromagnetic field simulation of high-frequency and high-speed components. Engineers rely on the accuracy, capacity, and performance of HFSS to design on-chip embedded passives, IC packages, PCB interconnects, antennas, RF/microwave components, and biomedical devices.
Setup Hfss
Please watch the following video to demonstrate the first use of hfss on the CAC clusters. The number of CPUs set the the GUI must match the ppn= value in the PBS script. Once you have setup hfss options as in the video you can now run Hfss in PBS.
Ansoft Hfss PBS File
To access hfss on the clusters, you must first type: module load hfss
A sample PBS script that shows a 4-CPU hfss job looks like this:
#!/bin/bash #PBS -N hfss #PBS -q route #PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4,mem=1gb,walltime=24:00:00 #PBS -M your-email-address #PBS -m abe #PBS -V # echo "I ran on:" cat $PBS_NODEFILE # #link hfss setup directory from one of the login nodes, #There are two login nodes nyx-login1 and nyx-login2 #check which one you were on by ls ~/.mw/core_data mynode=`head -n1 $PBS_NODEFILE` ln -s ~/.mw/core_data/nyx-login1.engin.umich.edu ~/.mw/core_data/${mynode}.engin.umich.edu #cd to your execution directory first cd /home/your-user-name/your-hfss-directory # hfss -Ng -batchsolve input.hfss #
