2026-01-22 Introduction to CoolMUC-4 with Focus on CFD and FEM Workflows (hcfd2w25)

Contents

The focus of this short course is to provide to beginners in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) a crash course like introduction to the following essential knowledge:

• Introduction to the LRZ Linux Cluster System and computing environment
• Introduction to a typical user environment on LRZ Linux Cluster system
• Linux terminal access and file transfer tools
• Usage of the module system
• The batch queuing or scheduling system SLURM
• Introduction to a typical CFD-oriented workflow on the example of ANSYS CFD, StarCCM+ and Abaqus
• Aspects of licensing of commercial CFD and CSM software at LRZ
• Q & A

Contents are subject to modifications.

Prerequisites

This course is addressed to young scientists, PHD students and under-graduate students (Master level) with so far limited to no experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), but with the aim to use in future the High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources of the LRZ for their fluid dynamics (CFD) or structural mechanics (CSM) oriented research. For this introductory course no further pre-existing HPC knowledge is required.

Hands-On

None, demo of Linux Cluster functionality will be provided.
