Good morning!!!

Since yesterday, I am using a cluster for my calculation.
Before that, I'm using the workbench, and I was checking convergence with CFX solver manager and its automatic drawn curves.

How can I draw convergence curves in live in batch mode? Can someone give me a script which draw the same curves as in CFX Solver windows (I think based on the file.out)?

Thank you and have a nice day,

If you can start cfx5solve on your cluster you can monitor the running job directly: 'monitor run in progress', select the .dir folder

Load up solver manager and click on open CFX run in progress. Select the directory of the run in progress - it will have a name like .tmp_dir(run name) or something like that.

Sorry, I think my question was confused.

On the cluster, I can't use the workbench, because I have no graphical interface.
In my repertory, I have just CFX.def, CFX_001.out, CFX.def, and CFX_001.dir in which I have cfx5.interp.ccl cfx5.tt, cfx5.mms def mms mms.setup mms.setup.attrb mode.dat mon mon.old out phst par ccl and 1400_full.bak (my back up file, at iteration #1400).

But I can access to my repertory by another cluster with a graphical interface. I open solver manager by the workbench, then select job.err (created by my script to launch the job), and I select Run In Progress and then CFX_001.dir.

Thanks for the idea.

Start CFX in stand alone mode, not through workbench. Use the CFX launcher to start solver manager and do as Lance and I suggested in our previous posts.

To add to Glenn and Lance's suggestions.

You can start the CFX in stand alone mode on another computer that can access the same filesystem used by the cluster; therefore, you comply with the cluster requirements, and you are also able to monitor, or post-process intermediate backup/transient files if you need to.
