Running Workbench on PC, solving on UNIX

[rshaffer3]

Does anyone know if it's possible to locally install Workbench on my PC and once pre-processing is done, send the info. to a remote Sun workstation to solve?

I've heard that this is possible so the better questuion might be, how do the two operating systems "talk" to each other?

It's definitely possible (as long as you're running a recent version of workbench), you just need a special licence to do it - ANSYS Professional or aboveI think. Talk to your ANSYS distributor about the "asynchronous solution capability", and they will provide a solution for you. (The two "talk" to each other by a simple NFS and/or Samba-type Unix-Window interface I believe.)

Cheers,
