ANSYS Benchmark #1: Procedure

Example PADT has created this online benchmark database for the ANSYS user community. The success of this effort will rely upon the user community running and submitting results as follows. Other benchmarks can be seen on the Benchmark Index.

A Test of the Hard Drive

This particular benchmark is a static frontal solution of a thermal model with ~100,000 DOF which will primarily exercise the hard drive of your system. The benchmark should be run in batch mode as the only significant process on you system. Results that are substantially faster or slower than other systems of similar configuration will be flagged for verification.

Machines with SCSI and/or RAID are expected to dominate this benchmark. So crank up your machines and help us populate this database!

Procedure for Benchmarking

  • Download the input macro file, bench01.mac, and run it in batch mode.
  • An ouput file called bench1.dat will be created in the working directory.
  • Using the solution’s wall time and CPU time listed at the end of the output file, fill in the form below.
  • Click the Submit button at the bottom of this page, and you will then be redirected to the Results List where your new entry should now appear.
