[SOLVED] Consulting about HFSS on Linux

[RFan]

Hello, I came to this forum once, please point out any places that do not conform to the rules, thank you!
This thread, I want to consult about HFSS on Linux:
1. For the same workstation, loading WIndows system or Linux system, will I get the same computing performance? (for HFSS)
2. I want to edit or build a simulation model in HFSS on Windows, and submit it to HFSS on Linux for simulation. Will there be incompatibility in the file format?
3. Can HFSS on Linux compute different models (projects) at the same time? (On Windows I can have multiple HFSS open at the same time)
Sorry, English is not my first language, these are edited by me using translation software, I try to make them as clear as possible.

Welcome, RFan. I was briefly involved with running HFSS on Linux, and will try to help you out. Firstly, as I recall, HFSS was only guaranteed to run on RedHat or similar. You should check the latest requirements.

1. For the same workstation, loading WIndows system or Linux system, will I get the same computing performance? (for HFSS)

Back in the day, a Linux machine would perform better that Windows (8, at the time) for raw computations, on a machine that was above consumer-desktop grade. I'm not sure about more recent version of Windows.

2. I want to edit or build a simulation model in HFSS on Windows, and submit it to HFSS on Linux for simulation. Will there be incompatibility in the file format?

I never had any issues with file formats.

3. Can HFSS on Linux compute different models (projects) at the same time? (On Windows I can have multiple HFSS open at the same time)

This is determined by your ANSYS license configurations, on all platforms.

Nowadays there is no difference with Multi Core/Multi Thread Processors.
Linux is surely more secure but deployment is a bit tricky. Especially integration to Virtuoso is a real trouble.

Thank you for your answers. Since there is no practice, this is just a help for feasibility. Do I need to close this thread (how do I do that), or can I keep it for further discussion later?

Hi,

how do I do that
