Code_Saturne v5.0.9

Running the application

The GUI of Code_Saturne v5.0.9 can be launched by typing:

./SaturneGUI

in the DATA directory

Note: You need to ensure you have connected to the CSF with X-forwarding enabled (e.g. ssh -X). For more information on how to do this please see the Logging in to use GUI apps documentation.

Further information and available options can be found after executing:

code_saturne --help 

Once you have set up your study/case file structure, you will need to edit the “runcase” file for submission to the queue.
Follow the guidelines on https://ri.itservices.manchester.ac.uk/csf3/batch/parallel-jobs/ as to what flags and what parallel environmet you should use. The recommended ones are:

* smp.pe (for 2 to 32 cores)
* mpi-24-ib.pe (for 48 cores or more in multiples of 24)

After editing the “runcase” you can submit it by typing:

qsub runcase

Note: It is highly recommended that if you are using any user subroutine, do a test compilation before submitting by typing:

code_saturne compile

in the SRC directory of your case.

Further info

Note: Moving from the CSF2 to CSF3:
If you want to submit a job created on the CSF2 to the queue of the CSF3 you must change the PATH variable in the “runcase” file to point to the new installation depending on the version you want to use. To find out the location type:

module show apps/intel-18.0/Code_Saturne/5.0

Similarly if you want to launch the GUI from the DATA directory you should edit the “SaturneGUI” script and update the PATH.
