HPC CalculiX

Treat CalculiX as an input-deck-driven FEM workflow centered on .inp keywords.

Start

Read references/input-deck-manual.md before creating or editing a .inp file.
Read references/keyword-and-step-matrix.md when mapping materials, sections, loads, and analysis steps.
Read references/mesh-boundary-and-output.md when working with nodes, elements, sets, boundary conditions, and result output.
Read references/cluster-execution-playbook.md when staging a CalculiX deck for scheduler-backed cluster execution.
Read references/error-recovery.md when parsing, solving, or post-processing fails.

Additional References

Load these on demand:

references/time-control-and-amplitudes.md for step time, amplitude logic, and incremental loading behavior
references/result-files-and-postprocessing.md for .dat, .frd, and eigenmode artifacts
references/thermal-and-coupled-procedures.md for heat transfer and coupled analysis patterns
references/step-load-output-matrix.md for procedure-to-load-to-output compatibility tables
references/element-section-material-matrix.md for element, section, and material assignment lookup tables
references/error-pattern-dictionary.md for structured parse, singularity, and procedure-mismatch failure signatures
references/cluster-execution-playbook.md for launch style, result-artifact planning, and cluster-side deck execution

Reusable Templates

Use assets/templates/ when a concrete .inp scaffold is needed, especially:

static_minimal.inp
frequency_minimal.inp
thermal_minimal.inp
beam_static.inp
calculix-ccx-slurm.sh

Guardrails

Do not invent Abaqus-style keywords that CalculiX does not support.
Do not mix node or element set names inconsistently across sections and steps.
Do not define loads and boundary conditions without checking the active step type.
Do not skip material and section coherence when the deck fails later in the solve.

Outputs

Summarize:

analysis type
materials and sections
sets and boundary assumptions
step sequence
expected result files
