== Introduction Lumerical FDTD Solutions is a software package for solving 3D Maxwell’s Equations using Finite Difference Time Domain method.
Installed Version
The following version of FDTD Solutions is currently installed on the cluster:
FDTD_Solutions/8.20.1634
It is installed on both environments hpc-uniol-env as well as hpc-env/6.4.
Using FDTD Solutions (with GUI)
If you need to work with the GUI (graphical user interface) function, it is mandatory to log in correctly. When logging in, you have to add the option -X at your SSH command. The option makes sure that the program's GUI is forwarded to your device.
ssh abcd1234@carl.hpc.uni-oldenburg.de -X
Of course, this means that your device must be able to display graphical elements such as browsers, office programs or the like. When you are logged in correctly, you just have to activate the module and start the program's GUI:
module load FDTD_Solutions fdtd-solutions&
Now FDTD_Solutions should pop up at your display.
Should you need help getting started, maybe the developer's guide might help.
