Code_Saturne v6.0.6

Running the application

Code_Saturne v6.0.6 can be used after executing on the login node:

module load code_saturne/6.0.6-iomkl-2020.02-Python-3.8.2

Similarly if you want to launch the GUI from the DATA directory, you should type:

./SaturneGUI

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. You should also ensure that the correct PATH of the executable is set in the “SaturneGUI” script.

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 SLURM on CSF4 as to what flags and what parallel environment you should use. The recommended ones are:

# Add these flags to the runcase file near the top of the file
#SBATCH -p multicore       # A single node (multicore) job
#SBATCH -n 40              # for up to 40

or

# Add these flags to the runcfg file near the top of the file
#SBATCH -p multinode       # A multinode job
#SBATCH -n 80              # for 80 to 200 cores in multiples of 40

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

sbatch 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.
