Installation and Launch
Windows Installation and Launch
The script folder (win_scripts_mk3) should be extracted to the installation folder of OpenRadioss (same level as exec, hm_cfg_files etc), the scripts work only from this directory level currently
...
The initial contents of the folder appear as below, for the windows version, python is not a pre-requisite, there is an .exe version of the gui that may be used directly without a python installation, the main gui tool is ‘openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.exe’ and can be launched from windows explorer on double click, the python code is still included for information and the .py script may still be used if python is installed (the 'openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.py’ files is the main python script)
...
Windows Desktop Shortcut (Optional)
It is possible to create shortcut Links for the exe or python tools with the form e.g.:
...
You may also ‘change icon’ to the one in the included icon folder

Linux Installation and Launch

Linux Desktop Shortcut (Optional)
It is possible to create a clickable desktop/menu icon for linux:
add/create a file: ./local/share/applications/openradioss.desktop (make executable)

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=OpenRadioss
Exec=bash -c "cd /home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk3 && /usr/bin/python3 /home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk3/openradioss_run_script_for_linux_mpi_ps.py"
Icon=/home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk3/icon/ross.png |
This will add a shortcut to desktop, menus: then can be pinned to desktop also:

Script Usage (windows/linux)
The gui usage is the same in both linux and windows, the gui takes input file and a number of OMP/MPI processors (-nt, -np) as arguments, there are also options for running single precision version, and having Anim-vtk and/or TH-csv conversion performed at end of the run.
...
If -np is 1 then the SMP (OMP) version of OpenRadioss is run, if -np is > 1 then the SPMD (MPI) version of OpenRadioss is run
Note: In Windows version only: On first attempt to submit an mpi run (-np > 1) you will be prompted to locate a suitable vars.bat file on your machine, once selected, this is remembered (to reset, delete the created ‘path_to_mpi_vars.txt’ file from the install directory, or edit its contents)
unJob Script for Linux
The linux version of the runjob script, also supports running mpi version if openmpi is installed and configured
OMP threads (nt) and MPI processes (np) can both be chosen, default is 1 and 1 (single processor OMP)
if the ‘MPI processes’ field is set to 1 or left blank, OMP version will be used
...
Anim-vtk Script
The ANIM-vtkScript….py opens a file selection dialog that takes ‘Annn’ files as input and converts to vtk for post processing in ParaView
T01-csv Script
The T01-csvScript….py opens a file selection dialog that takes ‘T0n’ files as input and converts to csv for post processing in ParaView

Known Limitations
Filepaths for selected files may not include spaces in Linux (ok in Windows) If Filepath has spaces in windows for the converter scripts, they run twice! |

If ‘sp’ box is checked, the extended single precision version of OpenRadioss will be run (if self compiling, this version is not compiled by default, see compilation guides)
If ‘Anim - vtk’ box is checked, at the conclusion of the run, all animation files will be converted to vtk
If ‘TH - csv’ box is checked, at the conclusion of the run, all time history files will be converted to csv
it is possible to submit further jobs after the first and they will be queued for running when the currently running job completes, the queue can be checked and edited, by clicking the ‘Show Queue’ button, the Queue shows jobs queued along with the options chosen
