Getting Started
Installation Prerequisites
Before installing ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite software, you need the following:
The ANSYS Electromagnetics product CD or product download (see Additional Resources on page 1-4 for download information).
A license file based on the ansoftd vendor daemon.
The ANSYS License Manager software download.

A computer with TCP/IP installed, for counted evaluation and purchased
licenses.
A computer that meets the minimum or recommended system requirements,

which depends on the specific ANSYS Electromagnetics products you plan
to run (see product release notes for specifications).
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite Software

The ANSYS Electromagnetics product or equivalent download contains:
The ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite software and project examples.

Third-party software, when necessary, for viewing online documentation (for
example, HTML Help or Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Documentation files.
License File
Most ANSYS Electromagnetics products require a license, which is sent as an e-mail
attachment. After you receive a license file, save it to a temporary location.
Getting Started 1-1

The license file requires a license hostid, which is a hardware device used to validate
the license. A list of supported hostids, and a general explanation of hostids, is available in Appendix B, License hostid.
If you do not have a license file for the ANSYS Electromagnetics software you are
about to install, please contact your ANSYS sales representative.
License Server
Once you have purchased the software, you must designate a machine on your network to act as a license server. The ANSYS License Manager must be installed in one
of the following two locations:
On the computer where the software will be installed.

On another machine accessible over the network.
Note
You can install the ANSYS License Manager before or after you install the
ANSYS Electromagnetics software.
See the ANSYS License Manager instructions available as part of the ANSYS
License Manager download.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is required for any
ANSYS Electromagnetics softwareeven for a single computer in stand-alone mode.
TCP/IP must be installed on the machine that is running ANSYS License Manager (the server) and on each machine that obtains licenses from that server.
By default, TCP/IP is usually already installed on a computer running a Windows

platform.
TCP/IP is usually bound to a network card. If a network card is already installed

and set up for TCP/IP, no additional action is needed during installation.
If a network card is not installed, then you can satisfy the TCP/IP requirement by
installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter (MLA). The MLA is a software module that emulates a network card. For more details, see the appropriate help topics
in Microsoft Windows (on the Windows taskbar, click Start>Help or
Start>Help and Support, depending on the operating system).
OpenGL
All ANSYS Electromagnetics software (excluding ANSYS License Manager)
requires that the OpenGL libraries be accessible from the machine running ANSYS
Electromagnetics software. Most graphics card drivers automatically come with
OpenGL software for Windows.

Remote Simulation
Remote Simulations
Most ANSYS Electromagnetics products offer remote simulation capabilities, where
you can run a simulation on a different machine from the one on which the ANSYS
Electromagnetics software was started. This is particularly useful if you want to take
advantage of a more powerful machine but it is not convenient to directly access that
machine. This can also be extended into distributed analysis, where a specified analysis, if supported, is concurrently solved on multiple processors and/or multiple nodes.
ANSYS Electromagnetics supports its own Remote Simulation Management (RSM)
software, as well as a number of High Performance Computing (HPC) software management programs (see High Performance Computing Integration below).
To run a networked installation of ANSYS Electromagnetics desktop products from a
Windows node, the Visual Studio redistributables must be installed on each node.
When do you need RSM?

RSM is in general required if you want to run remote or distributed simulations. However, if you have a separate scheduling system that ANSYS Electromagnetics supports, and you plan to run batchsolve simulations only, then you may not need to
install RSM (see High Performance Computing below).
Remote Simulation 3-1

Installing RSM
To install ANSYS Electromagnetics RSM software:

README file (recommended before using the software), check the box.
10. Click Finish to close the install window.
If you use RSM, it must be installed on all remote machines. In addition, the
product engines must be registered on RSM.
If this installation was automatically launched from a product installation,

then the registration will occur automatically.
To register the engines at any time on Windows, choose Start>All Programs>ANSYS Electromagnetics>product>Register with RSM. You can
also run RegisterEnginesWithRSM.exe, located in the product subdirectory (for example, C:\Program Files\AnsysEM\AnsysEM16.0.0\Win64\RegisterEnginesWithRSM.exe). In each case, you see a dialog confirming the
registration. OK the dialog.
Registering ANSYS Electromagnetics Product Engines for

use with RSM
You must make each installation of RSM aware of each ANSYS Electromagnetics
product, so that remote simulation requests are properly routed to the product. For
network installations, you need only to register each ANSYS Electromagnetics product once, regardless of the number of machines. Otherwise, you need to register each
ANSYS Electromagnetics product on each machine running RSM.
To register an ANSYS Electromagnetics product with RSM, either:

Click Start>All Programs>ANSYS Electromagnetics>ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite 16.0>Register with RSM.
Or run RegisterEngineswithRSM.exe, located in the product installation directory (for example, c:\Program Files\AnsysEM\AnsysEM16.0\Win64\RegisterEnginesWithRSM.exe).
To unregister an ANSYS Electromagnetics product from RSM, either:

Click Start>All Programs>ANSYS Electromagnetics>ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite 16.0>Unregister with RSM.
Or run UnregisterEngineswithRSM.exe, located in the product installation
directory (for example, c:\Program Files\AnsysEM\AnsysEM16.0\Win64\UnregisterEnginesWithRSM.exe).
High Performance Computing (HPC) Integration

Many ANSYS Electromagnetics products offer a direct integration with a number of
High Performance Computing (HPC) software programs for batchsolves. This direct
integration does not require Remote Simulation Management.
HPC Prerequisites

Message Passing Interface (MPI)
Installation
The two supported Message Passing Interface (MPI) options in ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite are IBM Platform Computing and Intel. MPI is required when you solve
using multiple nodes. It is not required to solve using a single node.
This chapter provides information about the Windows installations of MPI:
Windows
Follow these steps for a general installation:
1.
2.
3.
Install ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite in the same location on each machine: the
default is C:\Program Files\AnsysEM.
If you are using a single machine, the installation is finished, and no further
installation is needed.
If you are performing a network installation, see "Network Installation."
Install and configure the Remote Simulation Manager (RSM), if needed.
The local machine is the machine on which you are running the ANSYS
Electromagnetics Suite desktop. If you set up your simulations so that the
first machine in the distributed machine list (= the host machine) is the local
machine, you do not need to install or run the RSM.
If you are running through a scheduler, the scheduler will launch the simulation, and RSM is not needed.
If the first machine in the distributed machine list is not the local machine
and you are not running through a scheduler, then RSM must be used. RSM
needs to be installed and running on the remote machine that hosts the simulation, and the ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite installation must be registered with RSM on that machine (see the Remote Analysis topic in the
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite online help for details).
Install and configure the Message Passing Interface (MPI) on each computer.
Message Passing Interface (MPI) Installation 6-1
You can do this from the ANSYS Electromagnetics Installation shell. Click
Install Distributed Simulation Technologies. The two MPI options are IBM
Platform Computing and Intel.
4.
Choose the MPI vendor you want to install.

Install IBM Platform MPI
Install Intel MPI
Depending on your choice, you see a new dialog for the next steps.
Install IBM Platform MPI

For IBM Platform MPI jobs submitted to a Windows HPC Server 2012 or Windows
HPC Server 2012 R2 cluster, all of the job hosts must have .NET Framework 3.5
installed.
6-2 Message Passing Interface (MPI) Installation

After choosing Install IBM Platform MPI, you see an IBM Platform-MPI dialog.
1.
Click Next.
After a few moments, Software License Agreement page opens.
2.
Click I accept the terms in the license agreement.

The License screen closes and the Choose Install Set page opens.
3.
Select Service Mode.
4.
Click Next to continue.

The Service Listening Port page displays.
5.
Click Next.

6.
The Choose Install Folder screen displays.
Select the Destination location for the install. You can specify a location.

7.
Click Next to go to the Choose Shortcut Folder screen.
8.
Make your selections and click Next.

The Pre-Installation Summary for Service Mode screen displays.
9.
Review the settings and click Install.

The Install Screen displays and is replaced by the Install Complete Page.
10. Click Done.

Platform MPI does not require a password to be registered for it to work with
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite software. However, password registration may
be needed to allow access to network resources, such as shared drives. If you
want to register a password, open a command window, go to
<install_dir>\win64\common\fluent_mpi\multiport\mpi\win64\pcmpi\bin, and
run the following command:
mpidiag -s <your machine name> -at -cache
Enter your password at the prompt.

Install Intel MPI

1.
After you click Install Intel MPI, you see the following dialog.
2.
Specify the installation directory and click Extract.
3.
You then see the installation wizard for Intel(R) Library Runtime Environment.
4.
Click Next and follow the prompts to accept the license terms and Install the soft-

ware as directed.
Intel MPI typically requires passwords to be registered on the simulation host
machine, which is typically the first machine in the distributed machine list.
Password registration may also be required on other machines to allow access to
network resources, such as shared drives. Go to All Programs > Intel Software
Development Products > Intel MPI Library Runtime Environment > Build environment for Intel 64 > wmpiregister and enter your account and password
information.
Note
You can work around the password registration for cases where accessing
network resources is not needed by performing the Active Directory setup
(see http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/ics/impi/
41/win/Reference_Manual/Active_Directory_Setup.htm) and setting the
environment variable I_MPI_MTHOD to "delegate".
5.
Define the temp directory on all machines such that the designated user is
allowed full control.
6.
Disable the Windows firewall, or configure it as specified in the Firewall Configuration topic in the ANSYS Electromagnetics product online help.
7.
Select which MPI to use in the MPI Vendor box on the Options tab under Tools
> Options > HPC and Analysis Options.
General Notes
Note
The standard setup described here assumes that the user is part of a domain
and is running on computers within the given domain.
Using network resources, such as shared drives, may require password registration on
all machines for both Platform and Intel MPI.
It is easiest if share permissions are set to Full Control for the Everyone group for the
temp directories.
The following provides information about specific scenarios:
Scenario 1
The user is administrator or standard user on the local machine and needs to run
on one or more remote computer as an admin or a standard user. In addition, the
user always puts the local machine first in the distributed machine list so that the
local machine is the simulation host.
This is the standard situation and does not require further specifications. MPI
should be installed on all machines, and the solver options and MPI configuration
on the local machine will be used.

Scenario 2
The user is administrator or standard user on the local machine and is not defined
as a user on the remote machines. In addition, the user always puts the local
machine first in the distributed machine list so that the local machine is the host.
This situation is similar to Scenario 1, but the MPI jobs will run as a user that
does not exist on the remote machines. ANSYS strongly recommends setting the
temp directories to Full Control for the Everyone group to avoid issues with permissions.
Scenario 3
The user is administrator or standard user on the local machine, but needs to run
only on remote machines. In this scenario the remote machine that is first in the
distributed machine list will be the host machine for the simulation.
RSM must be installed and registered on the host machine. There are two RSM
settings that can affect the simulation.
The first setting is under RSM properties, which can be set to System User
or A specific user. This setting is chosen at installation and can be changed
through the Services panel or by going to Remote Simulation Manager >
Remote Simulation Manager Maintenance > Modify.
The second setting is in the Desktop in Tools > Options > General
Options, on the Remote Analysis Options tab. Here you can chose either
Service User or Specified User. Here is additional information about these
settings:

The preferred setup for this situation is to assign a Specific or Specified user, but
not both.
Windows HPC Scheduler

If you are using the Windows HPC Scheduler, you have the option to install the
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite and MPI on each node individually. The simulation
can then be run from one of the compute nodes or from the head node using the Windows HPC Scheduler GUI that is selected in Tools > Job Management > Select
Scheduler before using Tools>Job Mangement> Submit Job. The MPI setup is the
same as described previously.
For general information on using the Windows Scheduler, see the Integration with
Microsoft Windows HPC Scheduler topic in the ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite
online help.
Note
The LSF scheduler is not supported on Windows networks for ANSYS

Electromagnetics Suite simulations that require MPI (for example, DDM).
Network Installation
If you want to use a network installation with the Windows HPC Scheduler, follow
these steps:
1.
Install ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite on the head node.
2.
Share the AnsysEM directory in the head node installation (setting Full Control
for Everyone).
3.
Install Intel MPI on all nodes. Register your password with MPI on all nodes.
Perform Active Directory Setup on all nodes. To avoid password registration on
all nodes, see the note on page 6-11.
See http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/ics/impi/41/win/
Reference_Manual/Active_Directory_Setup.htm
Or
Install Platform MPI on all nodes. Register your password with MPI on all nodes.
With the Tight Integration of Platform MPI feature in R16, password registration
is not required. If you decide to use it, you can skip this step. It is recommended
you read the information on Tight Integration of Platform MPI with Windows
HPC for MPI Based Solves in the online help before submitting a job.
4.
Install the Visual Studio C++ 2008 and 2010 Redistributables on all nodes. Also
insure the NET framework is 4.0. The necessary installers are provided in the
installation folder in the Prerequisites directory. In addition for Windows Server
2012, .Net 3.5 must be installed.
5.
Bring up ANSYS Electronics Desktop on each node using the network installation to verify the installation was done properly.
6.
Place the pjt in a shared folder (where Everyone has Full Control).
7.
Launch ANSYS Electronics Desktop on the head node. Set the head node from
the ANSYS Electronics Desktop using Tools > Job Management > Select
Scheduler.
8.
Open the Windows Scheduler GUI from the ANSYS Electronics Desktop to
submit the job (see Tools > Job Management > Submit Job). Information is
available in the Integration with Microsoft Windows HPC Scheduler topic in the
ANSYS Electronics Desktop online help.
9.
Be sure to use the UNC pathname for the product and project (see the Integration
with Microsoft Windows HPC Scheduler topic in the online help for more
details).
10. Name the job and set other options as required for your setup. We recommend
setting the version of MPI (Platform Computing or Intel) in the Batchoptions by
adding the following:
'HFSS/MPIVendor'=Intel
'HFSS-IE/MPIVendor'=Intel
'Q3D Extractor/MPIVendor'=Intel
or
HFSS/MPIVendor'=Platform Computing
'HFSS-IE/MPIVendor'=Platform Computing
'Q3D Extractor/MPIVendor'=Platform Computing
After the job is submitted, you can monitor the job using the HPC Job Manager.
11. Testing has shown that when using Windows Server 2012 with a Network
installation, the head node should not be one of the computer nodes.
Troubleshooting Section
I am getting an error message that mentions AnsoftRSMService. Is there a
problem with my installation?
[error] Unable to locate or start COM engine on 'your_machine_name_here' : Unable to reach AnsoftRSMService. Check if the service
is running and if the firewall allows communication
Do not immediately assume there is a problem with RSM, especially if your_machine_name_here is your local machine. The message is stating that it cannot
start the Com engine. This can be the result of a misspelled machine name or an
issue with the firewall. Check these first.
If the host machine is a remote machine (your_machine_name_here is a remote
computer), there might be an issue with the RSM service on the remote computer. Check the RSM installation and registration on that machine.
Is there an easy way to test the computers in my Distributed Machine Configurations?

1.
Select HPC and Analysis Options.
2.
Click Edit, and select one or more machine names in the list on the
Machines for Distributed Analysis dialog.
3.
Click the Test Machines button. A set of tests will be run from the current
machine to the selected machines that includes pinging the computer and
checking the RSM availability.
When I attempt to simulate, I get the following error message:

[error] The attempted launch of solvers via MPI failed while connecting to
communication pipes. The probable cause is failure to install the vendor
MPI on one or more machines or password authentication failure for MPI
during the launch attempt.
Followed by
Unable to create child process: mpirun.
Possible causes for the messages are:
MPI is not installed on one or more machines.
The user is not a registered user on the remote machines for a workgroup
network.
There is an issue with the firewall.
The wrong version of MPI is installed on one or more machines.

The password registration is incorrect on one or more machines.
ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite is not installed in the same location on all
machines.
When I attempt to simulate, I get the following error message:

[error] Distributing matrix solutions for domains, process mpirun error:
Simulation directory creation failed for one or more MPI solvers. Check
access privileges and disk space for the following:
This message means you do not have the correct privilege for the temp directory
on one or more of the remote machines. In many cases the software uses the
installation temp directory that is defined during the installation on the given
machine. It is recommended that this directory be set for Everyone to have full
Read/Write privileges on all machines.
My setup was working last week, but today I am getting a password authentication failure error.
This error may occur if anything changed in your network configuration. The
most common cause is your login password was changed as part of a periodic
update for network security. If the passwords were registered for MPI, they need
to be updated on all machines every time the login passwords are changed.

A
Silent Installation
When you use ANSYS Electromagneticss silent installation feature, the software is
installed on your computer with no windows appearing during the installation process. InstallShield suppresses all dialog boxes, including error messages and informational message boxes.
To install ANSYS Electromagnetics software using a silent installation:
Obtain a license file for the software you are installing.

Obtain and install a hardware key if necessary.
On a representative machine, install the ANSYS Electromagnetics software
once from the command prompt, as described in this chapter.
Silent Installation A-1

Running the Silent Installation

To install ANSYS Electromagnetics software using a silent installation, you need to
record a response file, and then use that file to install the software on other computers.
To record a response file, you must install the software one time on one machine:
1.
Open a Windows command prompt.
2.
Browse to the directory where setup.exe (full download) or the self-extracting

executable (patch) is located.
3.
Type the following, and press Enter:
Full download:
setup.exe -r -f1<.iss response file>
Self-extracting patch:
<path to patch .exe> -a -r
-f1<path to iss response file>
4.
Follow the normal prompts for installation. Once complete, the iss response file
will contain information that can be used to install the same product on other
Windows machines.
To install the software on other computers running Windows, perform the following
steps on each machine:
1.
Open a Windows command prompt.
2.
Browse to the directory where setup.exe (full download) or the self-extracting

executable (patch) is located.
3.
Type the following, and press Enter:
Full download:
setup.exe -s -f1<.iss response file>
-f2<path to log file>
Self-extracting patch:
<path to patch .exe> -a -s
-f1<path to iss response file>
-f2<path to log file>
In silent mode, no confirmation windows of any kind are displayed. In this mode,
InstallShield suppresses all dialog boxes, including error messages and informational message boxes.
4.
To verify that the silent setup succeeded, open the setup.log file, and look at the
ResultCode value in the [ResponseResult] section. If the value is zero, the installation was successful.
If a failure occurs in silent mode, Setup aborts just as if you clicked the Abort button
in a wizard dialog box during a normal installation. In this case, an error is written to
the log file.
A-2 Silent Installation
Note
The installation typically fails for one of the following two reasons:
An invalid path was specified on the command line.

There were differences in the dialog box sequences between the
recorded response file and the current silent installation - for example,
an additional message appearing during the playback due to
differences in the two computer systems.

License hostid
Software licenses for each module of ANSYS Electromagnetics products you purchased are contained in one or more license files provided by ANSYS. Each license
file requires one or more license hostids, which are physical devices that contain a
unique identification. License hostids are always required for the license server, and
they may also be required for each machine running ANSYS software.
Each supported operating system supports certain hostids:
Operating System
Permitted hostids
Windows
The ethernet address of a network interface card

(MAC address).
Flexera FLEXid USB port hardware key.

Disk serial number.
To obtain the disk serial number, open a command
prompt.

http://www.ansys.com/Support/Licensing/Capture+License+Server+Information
License hostid B-1

Network Interface Card

A network interface card is a physical device used to connect to a network (also
known as an ethernet card). Each network interface card includes a unique ID that can
be used as a license hostid.
You can obtain an ethernet address to use as a valid license hostid. The method for
doing so differs depending on whether you are running Windows or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Windows
To obtain an ethernet address as a valid license hostid when running Microsoft Windows:
1.
If you are using a laptop, disconnect the laptop from the docking station if
docked.
2.
Go to the command prompt.
3.
Type ipconfig /all, and press Enter.

A listing of network interface cards is shown.
4.
For a valid network interface card, look for the Physical Address line. The ethernet address for that device is the value of the physical address, without dashes.
Note
Other types of adapters, including Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol

(PPTP) adapters and the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, may be listed here.
These are not valid for license hostids.
Linux
To obtain an ethernet address as a valid license hostid when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
1.
If you are using a laptop, disconnect the laptop from the docking station if
docked.
2.
Start a terminal session.
3.
Type ip addr (normally located in the /sbin directory) to see a listing of all
active network devices.
4.
Devices with an ethernet address show a Link encap value of Ethernet. The ethernet address for each device is the value in the HWaddr field, without colons.
B-2 License hostid

Hardware Key
A Flexera FLEXid hardware key may be provided to you by ANSYS Electromagnetics as
your physical device. The license hostid of a hardware key is affixed to the hardware key
itself. The hostid is a 17- to 21-character value that begins with FLEXID=.
Installing a Hardware Key on a USB Port

Only a single device can be installed on each USB port.
Flexera FLEXid hardware key for a USB Port
To install the hardware key on a USB port:
1. Attach the hardware key to the USB port.
2. If a prompt appears asking you to install or
specify a driver, choose Cancel.
