As you increase the requested performance or number of cores, your
simulation finishes faster but requires additional tokens or consumes credits at a
faster rate.
The available performance options depend on your
selected app and where you are submitting the simulation:
- If you are running simulations from a structural app and submitting the
simulations on the cloud, the server determines the performance settings
automatically by examining the complexity of your model. You cannot specify the
performance level or number of cores manually for such simulations.
- If you are running simulations from other simulation apps on the cloud, you can specify the
level of performance. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform estimates the baseline number of processor cores required to run your
simulation, based on the model size and degrees of freedom. The baseline number
of cores is doubled for each increment (1–7) of your requested performance
option to determine how many processor cores are planned for use. This
performance option is not available for all apps.
- For on-premises roles, you can allocate a specific number of cores to a
simulation. You can choose the default number of cores available for a
simulation from the Execution options in the
Preferences dialog box.
