- job=${JOBNAME}: Specifies the job name as the value of the environment variable JOBNAME.
- input=${JOBNAME}.inp: Specifies the input file name as the value of the environment variable JOBNAME with the .inp extension.
- analysis: Specifies the type of analysis to be performed.
- cpus=$SLURM_NPROCS: Specifies the number of CPUs to use as the value of the environment variable SLURM_NPROCS.
- scratch=$SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR: Specifies the working directory as the value of the environment variable SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR.
- interactive: Specifies to run in interactive mode.
