Then you need to make sure that the necessary module are loaded as described above. If you want to use the alias already in the current shell session, then please type:īefore you start an interactive FDTD session or submit a batch job, you have to type fdtdm to load all the required modules.įor setting up the license configuration, you need to login to the Euler cluster with X11 forwarding enabled. The changes will become active if you open a shell next time. bash_profile in a text editor and add the two following lines:Īlias fdtdm='module load new open_mpi/1.6.5 fdtd/8.11 matlab/8.2' Therefore we recommend to use Cygwin/x as X11 server when using a Windows computer.Īs you need to load 4 different modules to prepare the environment for running FDTD Solutions, we recommend to create an alias in your $HOME/.bash_profile file. FDTD solutions has been tested with Cygwin/x (x11 and ssh packages required) whereas some problems occured with Xming. If you are using a Windows computer you also need to setup an X11 server. In order to use it on Euler, you need to purchase a license through the IT shop of ETH to get the licensing information that is required to configure your account on Euler for FDTD. Initial setupPlease note that for using FDTD on the Euler cluster, there are some initialization steps that you need to do first.įDTD is a commercial software, requires a license. Newer versions of software are found in the new software stack. Please note that this page refers to installations from the old software stack.
