-CFX version 5 is installed in ''/apps/chpc/compmech/CFD/ansys_inc/v170/CFX''.

 ===== Licensing ===== ===== Licensing =====
  
-CHPC has academic licenses for AnsysCFD.  There are 5 "solver" processes, available as "cfd_base" and 4096 "HPC" licenses, available as "anshpc".  There is a license resource management system.  If you request license resources (as in these example scripts), the scheduler will check for license availability before starting a job.  License unavailability will result in the job being held back until the necessary licenses have become available.  Although use of the license resource request is not mandatory, its use is strongly recommended.  If you do not use the license resource requests, the job will fail if no licenses are available.  A single cfd_base license is required to start the solver, and includes up to 4 HPC licenses.  Therefore you should request ($nproc-4) ans_hpc licenses.+CHPC has academic licenses for AnsysCFD.  There are 25 "solver" processes and the license pool is not currently under heavy pressure.  There is a license resource management system to be used for Fluent, but it is not effective for older CFX versions.
