This page shows the process of running Ansys Lumerical simulations on Windows using Intel MPI as the Job launching preset for the local computer. For information on setting up and running the MPI remotely, see the Knowledge Base article on configuring Intel MPI for remote simulations.
Note: On Windows, when Intel MPI is terminated, it does terminate the simulation and solver process, except for FDTD. If this behavior is required, please use another MPI.
Using Intel MPI on localhost
When Intel MPI is selected as the "Job launching preset", the resource configuration automatically configures the job manager with the options below to allow running with Intel MPI on the local computer (localhost).
mpiexec.exe -noprompt -localroot
