Run SimSolid on Linux

The Linux version of SimSolid works without any user-interface and is meant to run jobs on HPC clusters.

1. Use the installer to install SimSolid on any Linux machine.
2. Once the installation is successful, you can use the command line below to run SimSolid jobs.

   <installation folder>/altair/scripts/SimSolid -s <Path to .js file>/<filename>.js -p <path to SSP file>/<SSP filename> -l <path to log file>/log.txt

   Commands to use in the .js file to execute SimSolid jobs in batch:

   // open project
   Project.open({ file: '%1%.ssp'});
   
   //Set number of logical cores
   Project.setOptions({ numOfCoresToUse: 24 });
   
   // initialize solutions
   Project.initializeSolutions();
   
   // solve all analyses 
   Project.solveAllAnalyses();
   
   // save project
   Project.save({ file: '%1%_solved.ssp'});

   The above script performs a series of actions namely - opens an SSP file, initializes the solution, runs all the analysis, and saves the SSP by appending _solved to the original file name. It is also set to run the jobs using 24 cores.
