Once your model is set-up with the appropriate inputs, click Optimize to submit your job. The Optimize dialog box appears and displays the Job Status for each of the configurations.
The optimization process uploads the simulation to the Autodesk Web Services. Once the upload is complete, each configuration is solved. The solve stage occurs independent of your Inventor session. You can continue to work in Inventor, or even close Inventor without jeopardizing your optimization.
Once your optimization is complete, an email notification is sent to you. The notification describes your model and configurations, and provides details of your optimization job. Notifications also display in Inventor and on your desktop as a Windows pop-up.
