About Simulation Execution Locations

The location specifies where you run the simulation, and you can also specify how you want to monitor the simulation's progress.

Running a Simulation from an App

Local Interactive

Local interactive simulations run on your computer, also known as the local host. This method is useful for simulations that you expect to complete quickly.

You can monitor the local interactive simulations actively in the foreground of your session. While the simulation is running, you cannot perform any other actions in your session.

A progress dialog box tracks the status of your simulation. You can terminate a simulation to stop its progress before it is complete. Once the simulation is complete, the app displays the results.

Local Noninteractive

Local noninteractive simulations run in a background process on your computer. This method is useful for larger models or simulations that take a long time to complete.

While a local noninteractive simulation is running, it is locked; you cannot edit any part of it, including other analysis cases if they exist. However, you can continue working on other objects in your session, and you can close the app or your session while the simulation is running. The machine that submitted the simulation must remain powered on and connected to the network until the simulation is complete.

Remote

If your system administrator has configured the infrastructure for 3DOrchestrate in your on-premises 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can run simulations remotely. You can also specify where a remote simulation will run and configure other 3DOrchestrate execution options.
