Run Radioss

Note: Your system administrator may need to modify the script to make it compatible with your system.

There are several ways to run Radioss:

From the script
From the HyperWorks Solver Run Manager
From inside the pre-processor HyperMesh
From inside HyperView, and HyperGraph

In all the above cases, HyperWorks will initialize $PATH and other environment variables required to run the selected solver, however you are responsible for initializing environment variables for third party products. In particular, MPI and AMLS/FFRS external solvers (if needed) may require PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Regardless of the method used to run Radioss, the Radioss script automatically detects the type of solution and what executable to run based on the filename. If the filename does not follow these conventions, a run option can be used to identify the file format.

Filename	File Format	Executes	Corresponding Run Option*
<prefix>_0000.rad	Block Format V51	Radioss Starter	`-start`, `-starter`
<prefix>D00	Block Format V4	Radioss Starter	`-start`, `-starter`
<prefix_0001.rad	Engine Format V51	Radioss Engine	`-eng`, `-engine`
<prefix>D01	Engine Format V4	Radioss Engine	`-eng`, `-engine`

*Does not have to be used if file follows naming convention.
