Releasing a licence and closing ANSYS?

Releasing a licence and closing ANSYS?

Releasing a licence and closing ANSYS?

(OP)
Hello, I'm new here and hoping someone can help me with this question. I was wondering if there is a command I could put into a batch file that would close ANSYS down thereby releasing the licence, when a job had finished. Occasionally I need to leave big jobs running and I can't guarantee that I'll be around when it finishes, so I'll tie up a licence that someone else could be using. Our system administrator can cancel a licence when its been taken out for days, but this is a bit of a hassle and someone needs to alert him to the fact that we're short of licences. Many thanks.
George

RE: Releasing a licence and closing ANSYS?

Hi,

/EXIT,save_label,filename,extension,

save_label can be: model (saves model on exit); solu (save model and solution); all (saves model, solution, postprocessing items); nosave (exits directly).

filename and extension are required for every save_label except "nosave"; if unspecified, it defaults to current working directory and jobname.

The command is valid in any processor, and forces the session to end immediately.

Warning: don't confuse with *EXIT command.

Regards
