Comment: Added v17.2 info for Argon, expanded on which environment modules to use on Argon

The ANSYS suite of programs is available on the ITS-RS HPC systems.

To use them, you will need to have access to a license server that will validate your right to use the software. The license servers are not run on the HPC systems so please check with your department for more information.

On Neon, versions 15.0.7 and 17.2 of Ansys are available.  Argon only provides version versions 17.2 and 18.0 at the present time, as the Omni-Path interconnect is not supported in versions prior to 18.x.  When .   When running Ansys programs on Argon, the -pib.infinipath must be explicitly stated for interconnect selection and the MPI implementation chosen must be mpi=intel. If these are not specified, the job will either fail outright or fall back to a much slower interconnect, severely curtailing performance.  If using the Fluent application on Argon, you are free to choose any appropriate parallel environment, there is not a dedicated fluent PE as on Neon.  In addition, the environment modules that set the necessary variables and paths on Argon are not currently the default Ansys modules.  When loading environment modules on Argon, ensure that you are using either ansys/17.2_impi-2017.4 or ansys/18.0_impi-2017.4 for your jobs.
