I have just completed a simulation project and which required looking at several models. It is posible to:
- Analyze several models at the same time
- Schedule when the analysis is done
- Run analysis in batch process, so SolidWorks is availble to use interactively?
Thanks
Hi Emil: Here's a stab at it:
1. I have not seen a function to solve different models at the same time, but you can solve variations of the same model in sequence (like a batch). Look-up "evaluation study" in the Simulation Help (this function used to be called "design scenarios").
2. I have not seen a command function to schedule solution of analyses. Please check with your VAR on this. I recall there may have been a function in "Task Scheduler" to do so, but I cannot locate it in SW 2012.
3. I am assuming from your question, you want to solve simulations in the background, but also run the CAD modeler simultaneously on the same computer. If you want to launch another instance of SolidWorks on the same computer, I believe it will work if you have enough memory, but it will not work if you have a network license. However it does violate the user software agreement to do so. If this is not what you are asking, I apologize in advance.
