List View

Use the List View to monitor the progress of your jobs throughout your CFD Flex simulations. Like the Job View, The List View informs you of the condition of your jobs, and lets you know when they have successfully completed. If an error occurs that prevents successful completion, the List view lets you know the stage at which the error occurred.

The following describe the columns of the List View:

Job Column

The Job list is a hierarchal list of your jobs. Time-based groups under each product name organize jobs based on whether they are active, recently completed, or were completed for a longer period of time. Each job has several sub-branches that show the status and history of each stage of the simulation process.

Group Branches

Sub-branches below each product organize jobs in chronological order in the following time-based groupings:

Time-based Groupings	Description
Active	Any job that has an active task.
Complete	Jobs that ended within the last seven days. (This includes both jobs that ended successfully and those that did not.)

Note: To change the number of days a job is displayed in the Complete group, modify the Number of days to show finished jobs in the General tab of the Preferences dialog box.

Job Branch

Each job is presented as a unique branch. Jobs are broken into three stages, each of which is listed as an individual sub-branch below the job:

Stages	Description
Upload	The process of compressing and transferring an encrypted copy of the model to the Autodesk® secure storage service.
Solve	The computational tasks performed by CFD Flex. Examples include mesh generation and numerical calculation.
Download	The process of copying the simulation results data from the Autodesk® secure storage service back to the local workstation.

Note: To view the tasks performed in each stage, enable Show Tasks on the General tab of the Preferences dialog box.

Note: When the next stage is started, a notification message appears at one corner of the Windows® Task Bar.

Status Column

You can view the current state of each stage in the simulation process in the Status column. There are several possible status conditions:

Status	Description
Scheduled	The Job Manager is aware of the job, but has not initiated the stage.
Queued	The Job Manager has initiated the stage, but the stage has not started.
Running	The Job Manager has started the stage.
Canceled	The job was halted because Cancel was selected on the right click menu.
Failed	The stage did not successfully complete. This can be caused by several factors.
Abandoned	The stage did not complete successfully. This can be due to network issues.
Finished	The stage has completed successfully with no errors. When the Upload and Solve stage is Finished, the next stage begins. To support download of intermediate results, there are times when the Download stage shows as Running at the same time as the Solve stage. When the Download stage reaches Finished, the simulation is complete and results are ready for visualization on the local computer.

Note: The status of the current stage is displayed adjacent to the job name.

Message Column

This is the current stage of the job, and is displayed adjacent to the job name.

Progress% Column

This is a measure of how much of the active stage has been completed successfully.

Cloud Credit(s)Column

This value indicates the cost of the job, in terms of Cloud Credits. The column is populated only for Cloud jobs (and not Local jobs).

Time Column

This is the date and time when the job or stage achieved a specific status.

To view a detailed time history for all stages, open the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog box, and check Show time details. The Job Status tab then presents time information in three columns:

Time Information States	Description
Schedule Time	The time when the job was first created by CFD Flex
Start Time	The time when the stage started.
Completed Time	The time when the stage finished.

Source Computer Column

This is the name of the computer from which the job was launched.

Note: To sort jobs by any of the values in the columns (such as Status, Progress, or Time), click the column label for the desired criteria. To invert the order, click the column label a second time.
