2. The meanings of the command-line parameters are as follows:​

  • -ng: Use non-graphical user interface mode.
  • -monitor: Display solver progress on the console.
  • -distributed: Use distributed computing.
  • -machinelist num=$SLURM_NTASKS: Specify the number of compute nodes to use, where$SLURM_NTASKSis an environment variable representing the number of currently available compute nodes.
  • -batchoptions ${WORKDIR}/Options.txt: Specify the path to the solver options file, where${WORKDIR}is an environment variable representing the current working directory.
  • -batchsolve ${WORKDIR}/OAM_110_X.aedt: Specify the path to the electromagnetic simulation file to be solved.
