Lesson 1b: Running ANSYS remotely

To run ANSYS remotely from a UNIX workstation:
(I can't guarantee this will work, especially if your company has firewall-type stuff in place. If this doesn't work for some reason, see your local computer geek.)

Telnet to a machine on the itlabs or ME system, jade.me.umn.edu for example.

On your local machine (my.companys.computer.com) type:

xhost +jade.me.umn.edu

On jade type the following command

setenv DISPLAY my.companys.computer.com:0.0

Now run ANSYS as described above on jade, and the ANSYS windows will appear on your local machine.

If this doesn't work, see the UNIX Help for more info on remote stuff.

Some sgi's on the ME system: jade agate coral topaz quartz (do not use RUBY)

Some suns on the ME system: ena erlang gantt koala lobo ohno opitz

Some itlabs sgi's in ME 308: ny nm az (and many other state abbreviations)
