  1. From the Simulate section of the action bar, click Simulate .
  2. From the Location options, select one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    Local Runs the simulation on your computer (the local host) and enables you to monitor the simulation actively.
    Cloud Runs the simulation on a Dassault Systèmes cloud server. This licensing option is available if your company has purchased cloud roles and licensing.
    Remote Runs the simulation through an on-premises 3DOrchestrate server. This licensing option is available only if your system administrator has configured this infrastructure.

    For more information, see About Simulation Execution Locations.

  3. From the License options, select one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    Credits (cloud roles only) Runs the simulation using one-time consumable licensing credits.
    Tokens Runs the simulation using a number of simulation tokens from a pool of tokens available to your organization.

    For more information, see About Simulation Licensing Schemes.

  4. Verify or change the following table entries:
    1. Verify that the Study name matches the study you intend to run.
    2. Verify the number of Design points.

      To change the number of designs analyzed in the study, see Configuring a Study.

    3. Select the number of Cores on which the study is processed.

      Option Description
      Sequential Run one design point at a time.
      Simultaneous Run multiple design points at the same time.

      Complex analysis cases might run slowly or consume more licensing tokens than you want to use.

  5. Click OK to run the simulation.
