Simulation Activity Lifecycle

One or more simulation activities comprise a simulation. A simulation activity is an individual step in the process of executing a simulation. This lifecycle is used for simulation activities that do not require a formal review process.

For more details about working with simulations, see the SIMULIA Process Composer (Web) User's Guide.

The simulation Activity lifecycle includes these states:

This page discusses:

In Process (or In Work)

The simulation activity, and new versions of simulation activities, are created in the In Process state and can be modified or deleted by the owner. This state represents the simulation activity while it is being developed, and all members of the collaborative space can modify the simulation activity. The owner can demote the simulation activity to Private or promote it to Complete; the Leader can promote the simulation activity to Released.

Complete (or Frozen)

The simulation activity is complete and being reviewed for approval. All members of the collaborative space have read-only access. Users can demote and promote simulation activities between the In Work and Frozen states and from the Complete to Released states without creating new versions. The Leader can demote the simulation activity to Private or promote it to Released.

Obsolete

The simulation is no longer used, is not expected to be executed, and must not be used in a collaborative space. The owner can delete the simulation in the Obsolete state or create a new version of the simulation.
