Applications
There are a number of applications or software packages that can be used on the hpc clusters. To see what's available type:
module avail
The output will look like this:

Now you can choose any of the applications from the list with the module load command. If, for example, you want to use Matlab, type:
module load matlab
There are several versions of Matlab available, the command above selects the second-highest version (2020a). If for some reason you want to use the older version, type:
module load matlab/2019b
Now you can start Matlab from the commandline:
[jsmith@hpc12:~]$ matlab
MATLAB is selecting SOFTWARE OPENGL rendering.

If you have an X server running on your PC or laptop and you are logged in using X-forwarding, Matlab should start with a graphical desktop.
Please note that not all applications that are available will actually work, some of them can only work on a few specific hpc clusters due to license restrictions.
For example, software exclusive for the hpc12 is Numeca, Abaqus, Vsaero, Convergence CFD and Simcenter Samcef
