  1. From the Analysis & Output section of the action bar, click Batch Simulation Monitor .
  2. In the FFS Batch Queue that appears, click Create to create a new simulation job.
  3. Define the simulation settings for the simulation job in the FFS Batch Job Definition Panel.

    Note: If you create more than one simulation job, you must separately define the simulation settings for each job in batch mode.

    In the FFS Batch Job Definition Panel, you can edit the following:
    • Active UI Object: Noneditable field that lists the name from the dataset that is open.
    • Comments: Section where you can add comments for reference.
    • Simulation Inputs: Run Time, Warm-up Time, and Number of Runs.
    • Simulation Outputs: Where you can choose the output format from XML, HTML, Both, or Resource-Specific HTMLs. You can also choose the directory to store the simulation output in.
  4. Click OK to create the simulation job and to begin execution.
    The FFS Batch Queue lists the new simulation job and provides the following information:
    • Active Object: Lists simulation job.
    • Comment: Lists user comments.
    • Status
      • Defined: Job definition is successful.
      • Waiting: Waiting for job to start.
      • Started: Execution of job has started.
      • Computed: Job execution has ended.
      • Failed: Job execution failed.
      • Canceled: Job execution canceled by user.
    • Progress: Percent of the simulation job completed.
    • Output Location: Location you specified to store the results for this job.
    • Start Time: Time when job started.
    • End Time: Time when job ended.
    • Return Status: Message from batch if successful, or message with the reason for failure.
  5. To stop the current execution of the simulation job, select a row and click Stop.
    The simulation job that you selected stops execution and is still present in the panel, but shows a Failedstatus.
  6. To permanently delete a simulation job, select a row and click Delete.
    You have permanently deleted the simulation job.
  7. Click OK to close the dialog box and validate your changes.
    Note: You can also invoke batch simulation from EKL action in the Engineering Rules Capture app.
