Ansys Interactive App

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I’m having issues with the new version of Ansys Mechanical (2025 R1).

The version is correctly installed (just like the previous ones), but from the interactive app I configured, when I select version 2025 R1, I get an error when starting the script.
The submitted job is terminated with exit code 1 (without an apparent reason).

The command executed in the script.sh.erb is as follows:
ansys251 -i {input_file} -o {output_name} -b nolist -p ansys -j {name} -dir {output_dir} -np 8 -dmp

Moreover, if the SMP mode is selected in the submission form, everything works fine.

The same command executed from the command line on the compute node runs correctly, as well as when run within a shell script and submitted using the sbatch command.

What could be the problem?

Thank you so much to everyone!

Hello!

This sounds like it could be a fairly involved Ansys issue - perhaps there’s some flag & environment combination that’s blowing up. Have you checked out the session data output.log file?

Do you mean the Slurm log? Generated by the script.sh.erb?
The Ansys logs are not being generated at all.
