ANALYSIS_SOURCE COMPUTER AND TARGET COMPUTER

vgrover — Thu, 30 May 2019 05:49:57 GMT

Hello Friends,

Please advise for simulation license working. How is it works in source computer and target computer. How can we use cloud base licensing for analysis?

Warm regards,

Hello Mohit

Thank you for your question on the how the Moldflow licensing is working. Just to be sure I will cover a few things.

When installing the Moldflow software you specify where to get your license. This can be from the local machine or a network machine with a license server installed. All licenses are network licenses so any machine pointing to the license machine can run an analysis, depending on the number of licenses available.

Please see the following article on our knowledge base Explanation of simulation Moldflow licenses to understand the level of license and how many analysis can be run.

To run on the Cloud there is no physical license for this product, as it is tied to your Autodesk Account for usage. When running the simulation through the Cloud, an unlimited number of analyses can be run. The Cloud, however, requires Cloud credits to run simulations, so this could limit the number of runs.

How to run the analysis locally, on a network machine or on the cloud

By default when you start an analysis it will run on the local machine.

If you wish to run on a network machine with the Moldflow solvers installed they need to be added in the Simulation job manager. The online help explains how To add a server into the SJM.

Once added, right click on the Start analysis button and choose the job server you wish to submit the analysis too. It is required that the job server you are sending the analysis is pointing to a license server to get a solver license. This can be the local machine if licenses are local or the network license server machine.

To run on the cloud is explained in the help topic To select Analyze in cloud.

I hope this helps with your question.

Regards

Paul

Hello Mohit

I am not sure what happened as the link works for me. Please find the raw url below to try and cut and paste:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/MFIA/2019/ENU/?guid=GUID-6F5B0CA5-2916-4F61-849B-A64293C52C29

And to be safe, here is the details form the link in case it still does not work for you:

To add a server

Add servers one at a time, using the Server Management tool of the Simulation Job Manager.

You can launch an analysis on your local machine, or you can use your local machine to launch an analysis on a different machine on the network. To launch a job on a different machine, make sure the remote machines have the same release of software installed on them, and that there is a Job Server entry for each remote machine in the Job Manager dialog.

Note: If you are using remote Linux machines, make sure the job server is running on each node.

A default job server is setup during installation, and assigned the name localhost. If you change this default name, localhost will not appear in your job manager list when you choose a job server on the network.

In the Simulation Job Manager toolbar, click Server Management.
Identify the address of the server you want to add, then click Add Server.
In the Server address text box, enter the address of the machine on which you want the jobs to run.
You can specify the address using one of the following methods:

IP address

For example, 190.11.222.333

Host name

For example, john-smith

Fully qualified host name

For example, john-smith.mycompany.com
In the Display name text field, enter the job server name you want to appear in the Job Manager dialog.
In the Batch queue concurrent job limit, enter a number from 1 to 20.
Click OK to close the dialog.

If you have any further questions please let me know.

Regards

Paul

Hello Paul,

Can you please help me in simulation job manager again. Now the issue is :

My simulation job manager is running but does not show progress % graph.

For details, you may go through attached JPG

We have go through the solution provided by Autodesk knowledge but didn't get appropriate result.

Please advise if any other approach can work for this issue.

Hello Mohit

Has the analysis started in the analysis log of the study? I have not come across the progress bar not updating, I will look into this for you.

One other observation. Why such a long study name? Please try and keep study names a sensible length and when duplicating studies take time to rename as you also have a few (copy) (copy)'s at the end.

When doing a Save As or Duplicate study also right click on the new study name and make sure the result prefixes match the new study name.

Regards

Paul
