      At Ansys 2021R2. For Windows operating systems only, not Linux. A decision was made to remove support for the -machines and -mpifile arguments, of the ansys212.exe command. This decision was made as testing had shown. That when running Distributed Memory Parallel (DMP) calculations. Using multiple windows operating system machines. Calculations were most stable. When submitted under the Microsoft HPC Scheduler Job Manager. If you have multiple Windows 10 machines. Which are connected across a network. Which supports a high enough data transfer rate. To reliably deal with the high data rates generated by Mechanical and APDL DMP calculations. It is still possible to enable multiple machine DMP calculations, outside of the Microsoft HPC Scheduler environment. Using the methods set out in the attached document, mech2022r1dmpwin10.pdf.
