ANSYS Benchmark #4: Procedure
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 CPU Using LS/DYNA
This particular benchmark is a fan bird-strike simulation which will primarily exercise the CPU of your system. This simulation is generic, do not use this fan design (LOL) or any of the keycards in the input deck without thoroughly researching the function and usage of the cards.

The benchmark should be run as the only significant process on your system. Results that are substantially faster or slower than other systems of similar configuration will be flagged for verification.
Note that the command line program may vary depending on your operating system and platform, typically something like ls960.exe or lsdyna.e60. You will find it in the bin folder where your ANSYS executable resides. You must use LS/DYNA version 9.60, which ships with ANSYS 6.0. Several of the features in the simulation are new to v9.60.

Procedure for Benchmarking
- Download the file temp.k and run it from a prompt with this command structure: ls960.exe i=temp.k
- If you have memory issues, try setting the memory with this command line: ls960.exe i=temp.k MEMORY=25000000
- If you have 2 CPUs, try using them with this command line: ls960.exe i=temp.k ncpu=2
- Using the solution’s wall time and CPU time listed at the end of the run (in the output window and in the message 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.
