Prof. Yu’s research group at Purdue also has access to a dedicated Linux server with our group specific name: msg.ecn.purdue.edu. You can access to this server the same way as you access any Purdue ECN linux servers using PuTTY or other software using your Purdue career account name and password.
Note the default directory after you login is your ECN home directory, but your home directory in our server is /export/home/a/username.
You can use this server just like any other ECN server and you can access all the ECN supported software such as Abaqus, Ansys, Mathematica, etc. There are some useful tips about how to use ECN server at https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB.
You need to add the following line into your startup script. For my account, my startup script is .bash_profile.
For the bash shell export PATH=/home/mgs/a/MSGCodes:$PATH
For the csh or tcsh shell setenv PATH /home/mgs/a/MSGCodes:$PATH
