Configuring the Execution Options | |||||

-
From the Properties page that appears, select
.
Execution options appear for the simulation process and for each simulation activity in the simulation process.
-
From the Execution Options dialog box that appears, click the
Execution
tab and edit the
options as required. The available options depend on the content of the simulation process
or activity, such as the type of adapter. In addition, when the simulation expert creates
a simulation template, they can specify which execution options are visible to the user
that is instantiating the template. In general, the following execution options are
available for simulation activities:
Option Description Job Title The title of the job that will run. Job Description A description of the job that will run. Log Level The level at which messages are logged. Cleanup Choose whether to keep the files that the activity creates in the execution directory. If you choose to remove the files, Performance Study deletes all files, folders, and subfolders in the execution directory. Skip this Activity Choose whether or not to run this activity. Maximum Run Time Specify a limit (in seconds of wall-clock time) after which execution of the simulation activity will be terminated. In most cases you should accept the default value of 0, meaning no time limit is enforced. However, if you are concerned the simulation activity will encounter issues that will not allow it to complete, you should specify a value that is much longer than the expected execution time (to prevent incorrect termination of the activity). Performance Study saves the changes to the execution options while you are working. -
Click the Affinities
tab and
edit the options for individual activities. If you enter an affinity, your job will be
dispatched only to 3DOrchestrate Stations that have this affinity (as configured by your system administrator). For example, you
could have a 3DOrchestrate Station that is used to run Nastran that has been given a custom affinity of Nastran. In general,
the following affinities are available for simulation activities:
Option Description Location You use the Location affinity to specify the working directory. When the simulation activity runs, Process Composer generates output in a directory below the default working directory, where the name of the directory is prefixed by the location group that you entered.
Simulation activities with the same location group will run on the same 3DOrchestrate Station and generate output in the same directory (under the working directory). Conversely, activities with different location groups will generate output in different directories and can run on different 3DOrchestrate Stations, provided there are no other affinities forcing them to use the same station.
If your organization has access, you can select Cloud to run compatible activities on the Dassault Systèmes cloud. See Adapters Supported for Cloud Execution in the Optimization Process Composer or Automation Process Composer User's Guide for more information.
Operating System Windows or Unix. Linux is considered a subset of UNIX in this classification. Station Name The default 3DOrchestrate Station name is the hostname of the computer on which the station is installed. Custom You can enter an expression that refers to a parameter in the Custom affinities field; for example, ${PARAMETER[Parameter Name]}. By default, a 3DOrchestrate Station has no custom affinities.
