2. set environment variable for Open MPI

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/openmpi3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   export PATH=/usr/lib64/openmpi3/bin:$PATH
   

Run an example on the client side

import ansys.dyna.core.solver as solver

hostname = "localhost"
port = "5000"
dyna=launch_dyna(ip = hostname,port = port)     # connect to the server
dyna.push("./output/ball_plate.k")        # push an input file
dyna.start_locally(input = "ball_plate.k",nproc=1)

1. The function of DynaSolver() can download and start the solver server automatically.
