Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information 1 of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 1. Introduction
ANSYS AUTODYN is a uniquely versatile explicit analysis tool for modeling the non- linear dynamics of solids, fluids, gas and their interaction. ANSYS AUTODYN on Windows platforms is integrated into ANSYS Workbench, further enhancing its overall capabilities with the new capabilities for importing CAD geometry and powerful new meshing technology. For more information please see our product web site at http://www.ansys.com.
This document provides an overview of the AUTODYN version installations on Windows and Linux platforms.
Installation of Software
2 Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 2. Installation of Software
On Windows platforms the AUTODYN software package is installed as a component of the ANSYS Workbench installation. Simply run the installation package and follow the on-screen instructions.
On Linux/Unix platforms, AUTODYN is similarly included in the ANSYS installation but as a server version rather than an interactive application. To install AUTODYN on Linux, enter the full path to the installation program on the media or to the downloaded installation files and follow the on-screen instructions e.g.: /dvdrom/install Installation of License Server
Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information 3 of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 3. Installation of License Server
The 12.1 License Manager is required to run ANSYS 12.1 products. The ANSYS, Inc. License Manager and its associated processes have changed significantly at Version 12.1. Please carefully review the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Guide for more information on these changes. The new Version 12.1 licensing process will continue to support ANSYS Workbench and AUTODYN licensing from prior releases.
The licensing installation process is now separate for the server and the client. The client portion is installed automatically during a product installation and requires no further action. The server portion is a separate installation and must be installed for your ANSYS, Inc. products to run.
With this release no distinction is made anymore between a 2D or a 3D AUTODYN solver license.
A single ANSYS AUTODYN solver license will allow you to run one instance of an AUTODYN system or ANSYS Explicit Dynamics system or Meshing system.
The ANSYS License Server may be installed locally or on any other computer running an operating system supported by FLEXnet available on your network.
The machine running AUTODYN must be set up as an ANSYS Licensing client and have the appropriate license files in place on the license Server for ANSYS AUTODYN to start.
The authorization codes required to run the main ANSYS AUTODYN program and other ANSYS products, along with installation instructions, will be supplied

Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information 7 of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 5. Starting AUTODYN on Windows Platforms 5.1 First use
When AUTODYN version 12.1 is run for the first time by the logged on user, AUTODYN will perform a few additional initialization steps to create user specific settings.
In versions older than 12.0, you also would have been prompted for a location for user-subroutine files which would have been created after the initial step. This step is no longer performed and the generation of the user-subroutine project is now available as a user action from within AUTODYN from the Options Menu instead.
After selection of the location for the user-subroutines AUTODYN will install the user subroutine project in a sub-directory with name AUTODYN user_subroutines.
Starting AUTODYN on Windows Platforms
8 Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 You must choose a directory that you have read and write access to. Each user may now have a unique user subroutine directory. No write access is required in the AUTODYN executable installation directory (a requirement of previous versions of AUTODYN).
AUTODYN will use the user temporary directory for temporary files and log file creation. This directory must also have read/write permission for the user and is by default in the location C:\Documents and Settings\<user logon>\Local Settings\Temp (where <user logon> is the ID used to log onto Windows).
Configuration files are kept in a user specific directory called the config directory. These include autodyn.ini, savedirs.dat and datadir.dat plus other files relating to the set up of problems run in parallel. These files are required for AUTODYN to function correctly and will be created with default settings the first time AUTODYN is run. The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\<user logon>\Application Data\Ansys\v121\AUTODYN Starting AUTODYN on Windows Platforms
Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information 9 of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 5.2 Subsequent use
After the initial user settings have been created, starting ANSYS AUTODYN via Workbench will launch the application and use the settings previously created for the logged on user. Once the AUTODYN application has been started from within Workbench you will see a familiar GUI layout similar to previous versions of AUTODYN.

Starting AUTODYN on Linux Platforms
12 Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 6. Starting AUTODYN on Linux Platforms
Once AUTODYN has been installed onto a Linux system, a script called AUTODYN121 (AUTODYN_dp121 for the double precision version) is provided that sets up the required runtime environment variables. This script is located within the <Installation directory>\v121\autodyn\bin directory. It can be run by either adding this directory path to your system path environment variable, or by typing the full path to the script.
The arguments to the script control which model is executed:
AUTODYN121I{ident-name} C{cycle-number}
The Cycle argument is not required, and will default to cycle zero if not present.
In order to run a parallel calculation, you should place the parallel configuration file (parallel.cfg) in the same directory as the model file. For further details regarding the setup and execution of parallel simulations, please see the Parallel Documentation.

Running AUTODYN in Batch Mode on Windows Platforms
14 Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 8. Running AUTODYN in Batch Mode on Windows Platforms
AUTODYN, by default, runs in interactive mode, with the graphics window and interface displayed. If desired, you may also run AUTODYN in batch mode where no graphics interface is shown. You may experience an increase in speed since the graphics does not need to be generated or refreshed. Also, by running AUTODYN in batch mode it is possible to stack jobs to run consecutively while your PC is unattended (e.g. overnight).
On starting, AUTODYN will check for the existence of a file SETBAT.DAT located in the same directory as the data files you wish to run.
The file: C:\Documents and Settings\<user logon>\Application Data\Ansys\v121\AUTODYN\savedirs.dat specifies where the data files to be run are and is installed in the config directory.
SETBAT.DAT should contain the ident and cycle of the file to run. All this will normally be done via a BATCH file. Once run, AUTODYN will delete SETBAT.DAT and it must be re-created to run a subsequent simulation in batch mode.
An example Batch file below shows how to start 2 AUTODYN jobs (alexp1 and alexp2) in data directory D: \Analysis Data, one after another.
REM define the data directory cd /D "C:\Documents and Settings\<userlogon>\Application Data\Ansys\v121\AUTODYN" echo D:\Analysis Data> savedirs.dat
REM write out ident name and cycle number to file setbat.dat in the data directory cd/D "D:\Analysis Data" echo alexp1> setbat.dat echo 000>> setbat.dat
REM Start autodyn cd /D "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v121\AISOL\AUTODYN\intel" autodyn.exe
REM write out ident name and cycle number to file setbat.dat in data directory cd/D "D:\Analysis Data" echo alexp2> setbat.dat echo 000>> setbat.dat
REM Start autodyn cd/D "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v121\AISOL\AUTODYN\intel" autodyn.exe
Putting a file named "endbat.dat" in either the config directory or data directory will cause a simulation to stop at the end of the current cycle. Once stopped, AUTODYN will delete the "endbat.dat" file.
Running AUTODYN in Batch Mode on Windows Platforms
Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information 15 of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 Putting a file named "savenow.dat" in either the config directory or data directory will force the simulation to write a restart file at the end of the current cycle. Once the restart file has been written out, AUTODYN will delete the "savenow.dat" file and it must be re-created to write out a new restart file.
An example Batch file below shows how to stop an ident that is running in batch mode.
REM write out endbat.dat in data directory cd /D "D:\Analysis Data" echo null>endbat.dat
Note: The file location for your installation may vary depending on the directories that you specified when installing.
Documentation and Help
16 Release 12.1 - 2009 SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. Contains proprietary and confidential information of ANSYS, Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Published: 2009-11-5 9. Documentation and Help
The AUTODYN Documentation and Help are based around an online context sensitive system that can be accessed from any of the question mark buttons within the AUTODYN version 12.1 user interface. Alternatively, the Documentation and Help may also be launched by selecting the appropriate ANSYS 12.1 AUTODYN program folder icon Start/All Programs/ANSYS 12.1/Help/ANSYS AUTODYN Help.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 installs a new security feature that does not allow active content to run locally. AUTODYN help files are files that contain active content. The option 'Allow files with active content to be shown on my computer' in the advanced tab of Internet Options needs to be checked. AUTODYN or even the PC may need to be restarted for this to take effect.
Further AUTODYN documentation is also available from the ANSYS Customer Portal in printable electronic format. The Adobe Acrobat reader is used to view, search, manipulate, and print this format of the AUTODYN documentation.
The latest version of the Adobe Acrobat reader may be downloaded through the Internet from: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html
For compatibility with the AUTODYN documentation, use version 5 or later of the Acrobat Reader.
