Dialog elements

Server address The network address of the machine which will be running the analyses.
You can specify the address using one of the following three methods:
  • IP address

    -for example, 190.11.222.333
  • Host name

    -for example, john-smith
  • Fully qualified host name

Note: In Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Adviser This is cannot be configured, and is statically set to "Current Jobs".
Default job priority level The processor priority that any Autodesk Simulation Moldflow analysis will take on the server.
Note: It is not recommend that priority Highest be used on a single CPU machine as this can tie up the system's resources to such an extent that manual intervention in the running of the machine becomes impossible.
Temporary directory Specify the temporary directory used by the job manager.

When you launch an analysis, the Job Manager first copies the study file to the temporary directory, then runs the analysis in that directory, and finally, when the analysis is complete, copies the study file and result files back to the original project directory.

Note: To change this directory, you will need to reinstall the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow product and enter the directory you want to use, during the installation process.
Delete temporary files older than Specify how many days to keep temporary files before deletion.
