Maria Yes, setting up Simfactory on a cluster is usually tedious, and is much faster with a bit of experience. I will be happy to assist; I've done this many times before.

It is basically impossible to set up a cluster without direct access. -erik On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 10:07 PM Hamilton, Maria <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Could I please get some help getting simfactory to run on a cluster? > > If I do sim setup, it will create a machine.ini with only one node. > The problem is that a cluster has many nodes, and each node has a different > name and sim will refuse to run on a node with a different name. > > The instructions read: > "It is likely that you will have to further customize this file" > > The instructions also let me know that: > "the setup command will also create a new machine definition for the local > machine in simfactory/mdb/machines.
