We have introduced a new scheme to manage the available Fluent licenses for Fluent jobs that were submitted by Grid Engine. This scheme replaces the one that is in place currently. Please make sure to change your Grid Engine submission script accordingly.

You need to make the following changes:

1. Delete the line
   #$ -l fluent_lic=1
   from your script. It will not be used anymore.
   
2. Use the "fluent.pe" parallel environment instead of the usual "dist.pe" or "shm.pe", i.e. replace
   #$ -pe dist.pe 16
   by
   #$ -pe fluent.pe 16
   in the case of a Fluent job with 16 processes.
   
3. Email notification should be disabled because it causes large numbers of emails to be sent out. The email notification line in your script that looks like "#$ -m be" should be removed.
   

Everything else remains the same. Note that the maximum number of processes allowed for a Fluent job is 24, and that 4 Fluent seats are reserved for interactive test jobs and pre-/post-processing. A template for a typical Fluent submission script can be found here. Please contact us if you encounter problems with the new scheme.
