Setting the Results Storage Mode

You can choose where the results of a simulation are stored for each analysis case. The simulation's model and scenario data are always stored on the server.

Saving the results from a simulation on the server allows other users to access the data and archive the data for future reference. However, in many cases, your simulation will generate large amounts of data. You can improve computation and postprocessing performance by saving the results of the simulation in a local directory.

Important: For simulations run on the cloud from a structural app, the results are always stored on the cloud. You cannot change the results location and save the results from these simulations locally.

  1. From the Results section of the action bar, click Results Storage .
    The Results Storage dialog box appears and displays the analysis cases and their storage settings.
  2. Select the mode to store the results for each analysis case:
    OptionDescription

    Server

    Stores the results data in the 3DEXPERIENCE database.

    When you switch to Server, the results are copied to the PLM cache. When you save (Share > Save > Save All), the results are uploaded from the PLM cache to the server. Once on the server, the results are accessible to any user authorized to open the simulation object.

    For more information on PLM cache, see Cache in the Native Apps Preferences guide.

    Local

    Stores the results data on the local disk of your computer.

    When you switch to Local, results are only available on the machine used to store the local results. When you save (Share > Save > Save All), the results are copied to the local results directory.

    The results are then only available by the user on the machine used to store local results

    Note: If you are using cloud or remote visualization and you switch from Server mode to Local mode, the results are downloaded to the local machine. Local downloads on your system might require some time to complete.
    Per analysis case

    Stores the results data for some analysis cases in the 3DEXPERIENCE database and stores the results data for other analysis cases in the local directory.

  3. Click OK.

    You can change the setting at any time and select Share > Save > Save All to save the simulation results.
