Creating an Application Connector

A simulation activity uses a connector to communicate with an external application, such as Abaqus/Standard. Application connectors are created by the Simulation Methods Developer.

About Application Connectors

Context: Application connectors refer to the simulation applications installed on 3DOrchestrate Stations. These applications must be configured by your system administrator in the ApplicationInfo.xml file on each station computer. Use the Station Admin dashboard app to determine which applications are available from a selected 3DOrchestrate Station. See the 3DOrchestrate - Installation and Administration Guide for more information. Application connectors are independent of simulation processes and simulation activities.

From the navigation pane, select V+R Process Management > Administration > Connectors.
Simulation Process Administration opens in a dashboard in a new tab with a list of your simulation connectors. From Simulation Process Administration, you can create and manage simulation connectors.
