Simulation Job Manager enhancements

The Simulation Job Manager is an add-in program that is installed, automatically, with your software, and that manages the computational components of your analysis. With this release, the Simulation Job Manager has been enhanced to improve the functionality.

Save results in the temporary storage directory

Results are now saved in the temporary storage directory for 7 days, before they are deleted by the Simulation Job Server. If your analysis has completed in the Simulation Job Manager, but there is a break in communication and the results are not returned to you by the Job Server, you can recover the results, manually. Simply go to the Job Server storage directory, typically located at:

• C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\SJM\ws\ , on Windows
• /var/opt/Autodesk/dssp/ws , on Linux Workstation
• $INSTALLATION/autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/plugin/ws, on Linux Thin Client

copy the results, and save them to your computer.

Change how long the results are saved

The default setting for saving results in the Job Server storage directory is 7 days. You can change this value to a minimum 0 hours and up to a maximum 10 years, by adding a new value in the dsspjobclient config file, which is located by default at:

• C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Simulation Job Manager\dsspjobclient.config, on Windows
• $INSTALLATION/autodesk-dssp-20YY-thinclient-XXX/bin/dsspjobclient.config, on Linux Thin Client
• /etc/opt/Autodesk/dssp/dsspjobclient.config, on Linux Workstation
