Download archive

The easyconfig file of FDTD-Solutions needs a manually downloaded archive for which we need the corresponding login data.

Register software

After installing FDTD-Solutions, the software needs the path to the license server. For this to be done, we need to open the license manager: /cm/shared/uniol/software/FDTD_Solutions/8.20.1634/opt/lumerical/fdtd/bin/fdtd-config-license

Here, we type in as follows:
fdtd-cluster.license.uni-oldenburg.de
port: 27000


Copy Scripts

Additionally, three files have to be copied from /cm/shared/uniol/scripts/FDTD_Solutions to the install dir: bin/fdtd-run-slurm.sh bin/fdtd-process-template.sh templates/fdtd-slurm-template.sh
