Notifications
Progress Notifications are e-mails sent by Autodesk® CFD when your analysis has completed a specific milestone. Enable them by clicking Setup > Simulation > Notifications to open the Notifications dialog.
To Enable Notifications
- Define your email server settings:
- Enter the name of your SMTP Server. You can enter either the Server or the Server:Port. Some common 3rd party servers are smtp.gmail.com:587 (note that the gmail account has to be configured to allow "Less Secure Apps") and smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465. Please check your email "Account Settings" or contact your system administrator or Internet service provider for additional information.
- Enter your Username as either your Login ID or Domain\Login. For public email servers such as Gmail and Yahoo, this is often your email address.
- Enter your email Password for the username that you entered in the Username line.
- In the From line, enter your email address. This must match the email address for the login in the Username line. This is the address that appears in the From field e on emails sent through this service.
- Enter the target e-mail address for notifications.
- To enter multiple addresses, separate each with a comma.
- To receive notifications as text messages, enter the SMS address according to your mobile vendor's specifications.
- Select the events that trigger a notification. If you select Send Convergence Plot, indicate how many iterations should elapse between plot images in the Iteration Interval box.
- Click Test message to confirm.
After saving, notifications are sent for all subsequent analyses launched from your computer, under your Windows login.
