Launching an analysis from a shell on Linux

If you are running a Design of Experiments (DoE), runner balance (rb) or optimization (optim) study, start the Simulation Compute Manager (SCM) first.

  1. In Synergy on a Windows-based PC, set up and save the analysis you want to run.
  2. Right-click on the study name in the Project panel and select Properties to find the name of the study file.
  3. Copy the study file (.sdy) to a directory on a local disk of the Linux machine on which you want to run the analysis. You must have write permission in this directory.
  4. Start a shell on the Linux machine on which you want to run the analysis. If necessary, configure the Linux environment.
  5. Use the cd command to navigate to the directory containing the study that you want to launch.
  6. Enter runstudy myAnalysis.sdy

The analysis runs and the output files are placed in the current directory. Copy these files back to a Windows machine running Synergy, to inspect them or use tools like studyrlt to extract result data.

Note: If the runstudy command is not recognized by the shell, then the Linux machine may not have been set up as a client machine, and/or the user environment may not have been set up for your login account. Please refer to the Autodesk Moldflow Insight Installation Guide for more details.
