Solver Manager

The Solver Manager provides the ability to schedule and run multiple scenarios from a single dialog. This eliminates the need to activate and run each scenario individually.

For example, an engineer creates a design study consisting of numerous scenarios. Several compute resources are available, but some are reserved by others until later that day or night. Use the Solver Manager to select which computer each scenario will run on, the order in which they are solved, and the start time. Because all scenarios are managed from the Solver manager, the engineer saves a lot of time by not having to manually open and launch each scenario individually.

To open the Solver Manager:

To select a scenario to be solved:

To modify solution settings:

  1. Click on a scenario name.
  2. Specify settings on the Control and Physics tabs.
  3. Click Ok.

To assign a scenario to a computer:

To schedule a start time:

To set the order of scenarios on the same solver:

To monitor solution progress

To solve the selected scenarios:

Note: The mesh must be generated for each scenario for Pro/Engineer models launched from Mechanica.
