Dear all,

I run my first tutorial (simple junction) as a batch job on the cluster at my universty.
NOw, Can I import and open the files under postprocessing (in RESU/YYYYMM-hhmm) in a windows local machine and postprocess them with a standalone windows version of paraview?

Any particular advice or tip for doing that?

Regards,

FA

Hello, attene.
This is a standard approach and always works if all things are OK. I calculate some cases in Saturne at home on a workstation (as an addition to our usual Ansys simulations), then just copy entire case directory via the fast flash drive to my laptop at work to postprocess or show colleges the results. Actually, you only need the postprocessing subdirectory if you only work with results on other machine.

Running calculation on other machine may be not so straightforward. I typically need to create the new case, then copy mesh, case XML and other files (if used) into that case to transfer the calculation to another machine. Otherwise I get some error when the calculation is launched (I don't remember details). There is something connected with hardware configuration like number of cores etc...
