Running a Job

You can configure a job to run on a local or remote 3DOrchestrate Station or to run on the cloud. The Run Locally command is not available if you are running the job from Performance Study.

This task shows you how to:

Run a Job with Default Settings
Run a Job Locally

Run a Job with Default Settings

You can run a job using the default execution options.

Open a simulation process.

From the Execution section of the action bar, click Run

Tip: You can also click

from the simulation process Execute menu or from the simulation activity context menu.

Warning: If you are running your simulation process on a remote station and you change your units system from the default in Me

> Preferences, then copy the CATSettings from your 3DEXPERIENCE platform installation to the 3DEXPERIENCE installation on the computer used to run the simulation process. This ensures that the results of the simulation process use the units that you set.

A job monitoring panel appears as the run progresses. You can see the work items completed versus the total number of work items submitted for execution.

Optional: Click Refresh, and enter the frequency (seconds) in which you want the server to refresh the job information.
You can enter None, 4, 8, 10, or 12.
Once execution completes, click Yes to reload the simulation process.
You need to reload the simulation process to continue working with it.

Run a Job Locally

You can run a job on a local private 3DOrchestrate Station.

Running a job on a local private station is useful while you are developing a simulation process. It allows you to monitor scripts and applications that are running,and output to the working directory and to the 3DOrchestrate Station log. You use the activity execution options to control whether Optimization Process Composer cleans up the files in the working directory when the job runs. If you want Optimization Process Composer to retain the files, you must set the Cleanup option to Never. If you are running the job on a local private 3DOrchestrate Station, retaining the files in the working directory can help you debug your simulation process.

Open a simulation process.
From the Execution section of the action bar, click Run Locally .

Tip: You can also click from the simulation process Execute menu or from the simulation activity context menu.

The job is submitted to a local private 3DOrchestrate Station. Optimization Process Composer launches a local private 3DOrchestrate Station if one is not already running.
