There may be occasions, such as if you lose internet connection, where you would like to perform the analysis on your local computer. If you lose your internet connection, analyses already scheduled in the Cloud will not be affected, and can be downloaded when your internet connection is restored.
It is possible with Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight 360 2014 to perform the analysis on your local computer. As with normal desktop analyses, the speed of the analysis will be limited by the power of your computer. Local Solve is a good option if you need results immediately, and do not have immediate access to the internet.
CAUTION:
Due to the large size of Design of Experiment (DOE) analyses, it is not recommended that you perform these locally. A DOE experiment performed locally could take as much as several days to complete.
