Groups interested in running COMSOL Multiphysics on the Hoffman2 cluster need to purchase a license by contacting COMSOL directly.
How to Run COMSOL
Input
COMSOL input files are generally created within the COMSOL gui frontend.
How to Run COMSOL in Batch
How to Run COMSOL using the Queue Scripts
The easiest way to run COMSOL in batch from the login node is to use the queue scripts. See Running a Batch Job for a discussion of the queue scripts and how they are used.
The following queue scripts are available for COMSOL:
- comsol.q.multithread
- Runs multi-threaded.
- comsol.q.parallel
- Runs in parallel.
How to Run COMSOL Using UGE Commands
See Running a Batch Job for guidelines to follow to create the required UGE command file. Alternatively, you could create an UGE command file with the queue script listed above. After saving the command file, you can modify it if necessary. See Commonly-Used UGE Commands for a list of the most commonly used UGE commands.
