Installing the Media on a Windows Computer Server

On a machine dedicated to calculation operations, install the CATSYSM_TP product in the desired directory (example: C:\SystemsSimulation).

Copy the SystemsSimulationConfig.json file, located in C:\SystemsSimulation\win_b64\config\, in the root of the installation directory (C:\SystemsSimulation).

The SystemsSimulationConfig.json file is the key element for the server configuration. You can modify it through several configuration points.

Modify the following parameter according to your needs:

Parameter

Description

publicAddress

Set this parameter with the network name of your machine.

Example: "publicAddress": "myMachine.3ds.com",

certificate and privateKey

For a secure connection for all the users, indicate the certificate and the SSL private key provided by your IT.

Note: Do not forget to double the back slashes.

network

Network configuration elements used to validate that the machine's ports are open and accessible. This configuration is optional.

Example: A default configuration is proposed: The port 8080 is used for the socket connection The port 2097 to initialize the webSocket connections of each client For each client a port will be allocated in the range 2098 to 2198.

The configuration is now complete.

{
"hypervisorSettingsVersion":2,
"publicAddress": "myMachine.3ds",
"certificate": "C:\\SSL\\myMachine.3ds.com.cer",
"privateKey": "C:\\SSL\\myMachine.3ds.com.key",
"network": {
	"socketPort": 8080,
	"webSocketPort": 2097,
	"webSocketRange": "2098-2198"
},
"processProvisioning": {
  "strategy": "on-premise",
  "pools": [
     {
       "names": ["systemsSimulationCS"],
       "launcher": {
          "executable": ".\\win_64\\code\\command\\SystemsSimulationStartSession.bat <EK_IDENTIFIER>"
       },
       "criterion": "byIdentifier",
       "timeoutInSeconds": 1200
      }]
    }
}

Open a Windows command in administrator mode and move to the installation directory using the cd C:\SystemsSimulation\ command:

Install a C Compiler.

Note: The application requires the prior installation of a C compiler. The supported compilers are Microsoft Visual Studio or GCC. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported.

Define the variables according the installed compiler:

For Visual Studio:
set SID_SIA_USE_COMPILER=VC
set SID_SIA_COMPILER_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX\VC
For GCC:
set SID_SIA_USE_COMPILER=GCC32 (or GCC64)
set SID_SIA_COMPILER_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX\VC

Enter the following command to start the server: start C:\SystemsSimulation\win_b64\code\bin\EKHypervisor.exe start " C:\SystemsSimulation\SystemsSimulationConfig.json" -listenOnWebSocket"

The console will display the following message:

Using HypervisorSettings file ‘C:\SystemsSimulation\SystemsSimulationConfig.json’
Listening on socket port '8080'
Listening on websocket port '2097'
