how to do parallel simulation

March 4, 2009, 12:36

Hi,

Guys! My computer is 64-bit with 8 processors. The OS is Windows XP. After I opened Fluent, type in " fluent 3d -t4" in the commmand line, error message comes out, which says "invalid command". Does anyone tell me what is the mattter? how to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Try this

c:\fluent.inc\ntbin\win64\fluent.exe 3d -r6.3.26 -t4 -mpi=default -awin64

Ganapathy is right.

In order to use "fluent -t4" you must add the destination of fluent in your PATH variables and it will work just fine!
