COMSOL¶
You can run COMSOL graphically through
Thinlinc. It is available from the menu. If
you need to start it from command line yourself, make sure to use the vglrun
command, which increases the 3D drawing performance, and also eliminates some
visual bugs in the 3D-view.
The basic input line would look like e.g:
Autosaving temporary files¶
COMSOL can save temporary files for error recovery, but will, by default, save
these into ~/.comsol/. This is bad, as these files are very large and do not
belong in the backup area.
comsol batch -i inputfile.mph -autosave on -recoverydir your_comsol_recovery_path/ -np $SLURM_NPROCS
You can also set the autosave functionality in the preferences for once. This is easiest done through the GUI.
