    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    hfss linux version My machine has 64GB of RAM. I don't recall the exact RAM usage for those runs, but it didn't use swap space. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 million unknowns is nearing my upper limit. The 700-800k tet runs were first order elements.

    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    ansoft hfss inux It's not any problem to do a direct solve on 700-800k tet's. Most of the stuff i do involves many excitations, so the direct solve is faster than the iterative solver even with that many unknowns.

    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    linux hfss I was just referring to the HFSS add-on. I think the best plan if you're going with Windows is Enterprise Edition. The way I understand it, Datacenter Edition is priced per processor, and unless you have more than 8 (physical) it's not worth it. Not sure which machine you're...

    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    hfss linux install Yes, there is a limit on the number of processors. I don't recall what the limit is on XP, but Enterprise will support up to 8 physical processors. By the way, when you are looking for that info, Microsoft only bases the limit on number of physical processors not total...

    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    hfss price Hmmm. I don't buy their explanation either. The machine is great. I too thought that for as much $ as I paid for HFSS that the customer support would be better. In running these huge problems (I often run problems that are 40+ GB RAM), I have noticed a number of issues with HFSS...

    Which Linux for HFSS v. 11?

    hfss linux I have HFSS v11 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. My machine has 8 dual-core AMD Opterons and 64GB of RAM. HFSS crashes almost daily when running problems of any decent size. I asked several application engineers about this, and they said that HFSS is developed first for...

    Grazing incidence on FSS using HFSS

    grazing incident or incidence I am currently working on a problem which requires simulating a plane wave excitation at low angles of incidence (theta>75 degrees). I have set up the typical HFSS periodic unit cell model with PML on top and below my airbox that contains my structure. I get fine...
