To activate your Info360 Cloud Model Service subscription, you must create a hub. A hub is a specific Info360 instance for your team and contains one or more projects and their members.
Before you can create a hub and activate your subscription:
- The client machine must be connected to the internet and the applicable domain names must be included in its allowed list. See Cloud Connection Requirements.
- There must be a valid Info360 Cloud Model Service subscription in your Autodesk Account (manage.autodesk.com).
- You must be assigned as an Admin for your team in Autodesk Account. See User management admin roles.
Note: If you have already created a hub for your team for another product subscription, you do not need to create another hub. The new product subscription will be activated automatically.
To create a hub and activate your subscription:
- Sign in to Autodesk Account (manage.autodesk.com).
- Go to Products and Services
Hubs.
- Make sure the right Team is selected. By default, you automatically have one team in your Autodesk Account under which all your users and Autodesk subscriptions fall. For more information, see Manage teams.
- Select Create hub Info360.
- Enter a name for the hub. For example, your company name.
- Under Data Region, select the region where your data should be hosted.
- Select Create & Activate.
Your subscription is now activated.
- Next you will need to click on Hub Administration to start adding members and projects.
Note: You may need to
assign users to InfoWater Pro, if you have not already done so.
Connecting to a project and running cloud simulation in InfoWater Pro
Once the project has been activated and you have been added to it by the admin, InfoWater Pro users can connect to the project and start running simulations in the cloud.
To connect to a project:
- Open the About window from the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
- Click the Info360 Projects button.
- If the Project list is empty, click Connect and log in to your Autodesk Account as prompted.
- Once the project list is populated, select the project from the drop-down menu and click OK.
To run simulations in the cloud:
- Open the Run Manager.
- Change the Run Mode to "Cloud" from the drop-down menu towards the bottom of the Run Manager window.
Note: Running simulations in the cloud offers parallelization which can greatly speed up fireflow runs and some batch runs, but it will not speed up all runs. Single runs, and smaller runs tend to run faster locally since they do not require upload and download of data.
