Slurm Bash Script for STAR-CCM+

Hi,

I currently need help writing a simple bash script to submit my STAR-CCM+ sim file via slurm. I have written a simple script but after about 10s from submitting my job, my job disappears from the job queue. The script is given below:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=16
#SBATCH --mem=32000MB
#SBATCH --time=12:00:00
#SBATCH --job-name=StarCCM
#SBATCH --partition=medium
#SBATCH --workdir="/home/username/work"

module load star-ccm+

starccm+ -batch -power -podkey BI8J2TM8oU/FinQk2tpNvw -licpath 1999@flex.cd-adapco.com -np 16 $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/filename.sim > $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR/output

Note that the largest values for ntasks possible is 16 and for mem, it is 32GB, on my college HPC cluster. The version of STAR-CCM+ available is star-ccm+/14.04.011-R8. I have tried putting this after the "module load" command but with no success.

Are there any recommendations as to how I could fix this bash script?

You have to specify the java-file with the commands for this run atfer the "-batch" option.

My "batchrun.java" looks like this (with some code removed):

Code:

// STAR-CCM+ macro: batchrun.java

package macro;



import java.io.File;

import static java.lang.Math.abs;

import java.util.*;

import star.common.*; 

import star.base.neo.*;

import star.base.report.*;

import star.vis.*;



public class batchrun extends StarMacro {

  public void execute() {



    Simulation simulation_0 = getActiveSimulation();

    simulation_0.getSimulationIterator().run();

    simulation_0.saveState(simulation_0.getPresentationName() + ".sim");





  }

}
