The TotalCAE Web Portal is now on the TotalCAE YouTube channel. Below is a demonstration with Abaqus:
TotalCAE, a leading global provider of HPC technology solutions and IT services for engineers, today announced the release of TotalCAE Activation Filter 3.1 (TAF) for Microsoft HPC Server.
TAF enables license aware scheduling on Microsoft HPC Server 2008 R2, and other extended functionality required for many types of technical computing applications.
“With TAF 3.1, we have added even more advanced functionality including support for virtual features, license reporting, and enabled enterprise three tier redudant license support in the community edition.” said TotalCAE Principal Rodney Mach.
Virtual Features – New in 3.1
Applications like ANSYS Mechanical allow an application to start if multiple different FLEXlm features have sufficient tokens. For example if there are enough ANSYS licenses, OR enough ANE3 licenses.
License Reporting – New in 3.1
Engineers like to see the available licenses from all FLExlm and other 3rd party license servers, TAF now can generate these HTML or XML reports for users to see the current license count
For additional detail and a complete listing of the new features, enhancements and improvements offered within TAF 3.1, visit the TAF homepage
TotalCAE will be at the 2011 ANSYS Regional Conference at the Westin Southfield Detroit, come see us in the HP booth to discuss our tools, portals, and IT services for ANSYS on both Windows HPC Server and Linux.
TotalCAE will be sponsoring the 16th Annual Simulia Great Lakes Regional Users Meeting (RUM) on October 12th at the Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth (MI), USA. The RUM provides a valuable forum for discovering and understanding how experts in engineering and academia are applying the latest simulation technology and methods to accelerate and improve product development.
Come swing by the TotalCAE booth or attend the talk by Rodney Mach on using spare desktop cycles, the cloud, GPUS, HPC clusters, and other IT solutions to enable better, faster, cheaper ABAQUS simulation.
TotalCAE is Sponsoring the Ricardo 2011 North American Conference at the Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth, Michigan on September 9th 2011. Please swing by our booth.
Many of our customers enjoy using their CAE Solvers (like ABAQUS) with the TotalCAE Activation Filter (TAF) and TotalCAE Portal to have a job submitted be postponed for consideration until a date and time in future, see the screenshot below:
TotalCAE Web Portal Hold Until
But you can also use the ABAQUS native HPC Server 2008 R2 integration with TAF, here is a simple way with TAF to delay a ABAQUS job for consideration:
Step 1. Use Abaqus to generate the JOB, but don’t submit it:
abaqus j=foo.inp cpus=4 -queue=genxmllocal
(You can use genxmllocal or genxml depending on if you want to run out of a local scratch or not, this writes out the HPC Server 2008 R2 job xml, but does not submit it)
Step 2. Create a new job from this job xml
job new /jobfile:e1.xml
THIS WILL RETURN A JOB ID, USE THE RETURNED JOB ID AFTER THIS, THIS EXAMPLE USES 1596
Step 3. Add the WAITUNTIL environment variable ( Used by TAF )
job modify 1596 /env:WAITUNTIL=”6/23/2011 8:10:00 AM”
Step 4. Submit the job
job submit /id:1596
A screenshot is below.
The TotalCAE suite of products developed by HiperLogic has now been moved under the TotalCAE umbrella!
