Certain software will require additional steps in order to properly launch the GUI. Please load your appropriate software module, then use the command below to launch the GUI.
NOTE: Some software GUIs will run fine in a desktop session on a regular compute node. However, some require hardware accelerated graphics and will only perform well on a visualization node.
Launching GUIs for COMSOL, MATLAB, StarCCM, and ABAQUS:
COMSOL:
In the terminal window, load your required modules and then type:
comsol -np 5 -tmpdir $SLURMTMPDIR -mpmode owner
MATLAB:
In the terminal window, load your required modules and then type:
matlab -nosoftwareopengl
StarCCM:
Make sure to use the OpenGL DISABLED desktop app
In the terminal window, load your required modules and then type:
starccm+ -clientldpreload libvglfaker.so
ABAQUS:
In the terminal window, first list out all the available versions of Abaqus:
module avail abaqus
Then decide which one you want to run. Make sure to load the "-viz" version of the ABAQUS module:
module load abaqus/2019-viz
abaqus cae
