Running the STAR-CCM+ client on a local machine and connecting to a server on the TRACC cluster host requires the generation of a public-private key pair for authentication when connecting to the TRACC cluster because the connection process does not have an option to use password authentication when connecting. For very large models running on many compute nodes, some experimentation will be necessary to determine if connecting a STAR-CCM+ client from a local machine to a very large job on the cluster provides significant speed up in the user interface. This may be the case when the model is very large (more than 10 million computational cells). The speed up may not be as significant if sending compressed rendered graphics over the internet is not the bottleneck slowing the response. Even if the local graphics card is not a high end card, speed up in the response when using the GUI is large. The response time in the user interface is far faster than the response time when using NoMachine NX to access the user interface through a remote desktop session because geometry rendering and window redraws are done by the local accelerated graphics card, if an accelerated graphics card is present, which is usually the case for modern computers.

CD-adapco implemented modifications to make this capability possible in a recent release and members of the TRACC team have successfully executed the needed software installation, setup, and procedures using a local Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit system. 4.5 Summary of procedure to connect to a remote STAR-CCM+ job after key authentication is setupīeginning in June 2011, the capability exists to run the STAR-CCM+ GUI (client) on a local Windows workstation and to connect to a server running on the TRACC cluster.4.4 Disconnecting from the server session.Do not run the STAR-CCM+ server on a login node! 4.3 Start a STAR-CCM+ server on a compute node.
4.1 Login to a cluster login node with the NX Client.4 Test to Verify Connection of Local STAR-CCM+ to Remote Server.
3.4 Set up the password authentication agent Pagent.3.3 Convert the private key to the format required by PuTTY.3.2 Move generated keys to your local machine.3.1 Generate and set up ssh keys to allow communication between your local PC and the compute nodes.3 Procedure to set up RSA key authentication to connect STAR-CCM+ to a remote server.2.5 Create an “ssh” command that will work in a Windows command prompt window.

Note: I am able to get it to work partially by adding additional mouse-tracking code to FreeCamera.cs that is provided by Serjiok in but the movement is a bit sluggish and each time I right-click and rotate, the camera angle resets to the original one and I the rotation starts from it's original orientation. The result is the same: right mouse-click rotation does not work.
It was set for "Input Manager (Old)", and I've set it to "Both", created a new build and tested it. Click to expand.Just tried that, but no, it does not change anything.
