Guidance and framework for running HPC applications on Azure. This is not production ready and should be considered like a sample. NOTE: Please look at https://github.com/Azure/azurehpc as it is the most recent work that the team has published with tools for building HPC infrastructure and most of the applications here and more are integrated there already. You may still refer here as needed but this work is not being actively maintained.

Use silent installation with xml files for abaqus #9

Hi, you are currently using cat << EOF to answer questions that are posed by the interactive installer during setup: https://github.com/az-cat/az-hpcapps/blob/master/apps/abaqus/install_abaqus.sh#L35-L69

abaqus offers a silent installation with a xml input (https://www.itninja.com/question/abaqus-2017-application-searching-for-silent-installation or see their documentation that is not public so I can't link to it). I would suggest to change your installation to use silent mode.

Greetings Klaas

Thanks @Klaas- we will consider this, the current technics works well on Linux but could be enhanced by using silent files for sure.
