About Seeds
  1. Open the simulation process whose execution options you want to configure.
  2. From the Execution section of the action bar, click Configure and Run .

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

    The Configure and run dialog box appears.
  3. Optional: Enter a Job title and a Job description.

    Naming the job and providing a description can make it easier to locate later for postprocessing or running.

  4. Expand the Advanced Options.
  5. From the Log level list, select the log level for the execution:
    OptionDescription
    Debug These messages are intended for debugging system or adapter code. Typically, these messages are meaningful only to program developers. The Debug log level can produce a large quantity of messages that can affect system performance. The Debug log level is the highest level and sends all five types of messages to your file.
    Info These messages contain routine status or other informational items that are not generally significant.
    Warning These messages indicate a condition of which you should be aware but do not generally indicate a failure.
    Error These messages indicate an error condition caused by usage, operational data, or some other condition that can be corrected.
    SysError These messages indicate a software system failure. They may indicate that some part of the infrastructure has become unusable, or they may indicate a programming error. Report these errors to system administrators for analysis. This is the lowest log level. Selecting this option sends only system error messages to your log file.
  6. Optional: Select Use fixed seed to manually specify the seed in the corresponding field.

    If this option is not selected, the seed is determined randomly. For more information, see About Seeds.

  7. If required, enter the credentials for logging into the system that is running the 3DOrchestrate Station:
    1. Select the system type—Windows or Linux.
    2. Enter the Domain, User name, and Password.
  8. If required, select Isight to provide login credentials to the SIMULIA Execution Engine that is running the Isight adapter. See Configuring the Isight Execution Environment for more details.
  9. Optional: Clear the Save settings option. If you clear this option, the settings are not saved for the next job.
  10. Click Run to run the simulation process.
    The job runs, and the job name appears in the Jobs list in the tree.
