Why can't I solve on more than 2 computers in a Parametric Study?

Roman Lech Feb 10, 2015 2:05 PM

I have 3 computer added but only can select 2 computer in the top right of the parametric study tab (Maximum simulations run) I can select all three computers in the "Run at" tab across the design points, but only 2 simulations at a time commence. I have actually up to 4 machines capable of chopping my simulation time but am stuck scratching my head at this problem...

Everything is set up with my network monitor

Any help would be appreciated!

Even when one computer "This Computer" is solving, it still gives me the option to perform 1 or two design points/simulations at a time (simultaneously)

  I noticed that my Batch Run -> Maximum Simulations run on this computer has changed to 1 or 2. I used to be able to perform way more than that...

    Hello Roman:
    
    I've just received confirmation that SolidWorks is currently limited to running only 2 simultaneous projects at a time. You have been added to the notification list for SPR 712845 requesting it to be increased.
    
    Currently the 2 simultaneous projects would run one locally and the second on the remote computer. You cannot run it on multiple remote computers. SolidWorks is still reviewing the information and will assign any additional SPRs as required.
