+Run <code>module spider {{#var:app}}</code> to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
-<!--fluent contains an MPI version embedded within the installed software. UFRC has requirements for submitting fluent jobs depending on the version of fluent being run, different steps need to be taken to run fluent in parallel. -->
-<!--==== fluent 14.5.7 ====
-UFRC strongly advises using newer versions of fluent. If you need to use version 14.5.7, special steps must be taken to run in parallel. Jobs which will load this version of fluent must be submitted as whole node requests. The easiest way to do this is using the '-E' flag in your request. For example,
-<source lang="bash">
-#PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=4 -E
-</source>
-==== fluent >= 15.0 ====
-For versions of fluent >= 15.0 all that is needed is to load a valid openmpi module prior to loading the fluent module. For example
--->
-<source lang="bash">
-module load intel/2016.0.109 openmpi/1.6.5 fluent/17.2
-</source>
 ==Running Fluent GUI==
-To run the Fluent gui you need to start it in a [[GUI Programs|gui session]]. Unfortunately, the initial Fluent window runs as a separate process from the main program that starts after the startup options are selected, so after you run Fluent with

- module load gui
- launch_fluent_gui [options]
-where options are the same optional arguments that are used with launch_gui session like '-t X' for time in hrs, etc, you'll have to manually cancel the job when you are done with
- scancel $jobid
-where jobid is the SLURM ID of the job. The default arguments are 1 cpu core, 4gb of memory, and 8 hr time limit.
