Comsol

Comsol is best run interactively on Katana OnDemand.

Note

You will need to belong to a group that owns a COMSOL licence (mech, spree, quantum, biomodel)

Comsol Batch Jobs

COMSOL is available to download on myAccess for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. This will allow you to generate module files locally, and transfer them to Katana to process in a batch job.

An example comsol batch job file is available on our GitHub (Note: You need to join the UNSW GitHub organisation to access this repo) and an uncommented version is reproduced below.

console

    #!/bin/bash
    #<RESOURCE REQUESTS>

    mkdir -p ${TMPDIR}/comsol

    export MY_COMSOL_DIR=/srv/scratch/$USER/comsoldir

    module load comsol/5.6-spree

    comsol -nn 1 -np $NCPUS \
    -recoverydir ${MY_COMSOL_DIR}/recoveries \
    -tmpdir ${TMPDIR}/comsol \
    batch \
    -inputfile ${MY_COMSOL_DIR}/MyModel.mph \
    -outputfile ${MY_COMSOL_DIR}/MyModelOut.mph \
    -batchlog ${MY_COMSOL_DIR}/MyModel.log
