Tecplot on Mills

All interactive jobs should be run on a compute node by setting your workgroup and using qlogin. You need to be running X-Windows and you should make sure you are in the directory where you want to run Tecplot. Once on the compute node, you will automatically be in the same working directory. For example, for traine on Mills, this process might look like this:

[traine@mills ~]$ workgroup -g it_css
[(it_css:traine)@mills ~]$ qlogin
Your job 692290 ("QLOGIN") has been submitted
