Simcenter Prescan360: Running on cloud with command line
Steps:
Login to the cloud environment:
Open the windows command prompt: Type in Windows search „cmd“
Type cd <installation_folder>\res changing to the install folder of Prescan360
During installation the local machine configuration is normally done, if not done it needs to be done with the following commands: “simclient clientconfig update simorchestrator= < SimOrchestrator URL>/orchestrator/ auth.client_secret=<Secret key>” (Important: There must be a space in between …orchestrator/ and auth.client…….) . Replace the red parts with your information.
The configuration data after setting, you can check in the following file: “C:\Users\<username>\.prescan360\simclient.yaml”
Note: Please ask your IT/administrator for < SimOrchestrator URL> and <Secret key>. Both also can be viewed, when using the WebGui to login and click on “Status”.
Login command into the cloud.
Type simclient login <username> , it will jump to an empty line where you have to enter your password. After the login you get a message if it was successful
Creating an experiment:
simclient create experiment id=<Experiment ID> name=<Experiment name>
Upload of the zip file:
simclient upload experiment <Experiment ID> <Full path of the Experiment Zip>
Building the experiment:
simclient update experiment <Experiment ID> status=ready
Creating the run job:
simclient create job id=<Job ID> name=<Job Name> experimentId=<Experiment ID> :
Running the job: simclient update job <Job ID> status=ready
Obtaining the results zip: simclient download job <Job ID> <Job Name>_result.zip
To be able to upload many experiments with different values and run them, it is possible to create a script using the command prompt commands to do all the steps automated if preferred.
Instead of a script, it is valuable to use Heeds as the orchestrator. It can run experiments on the cloud with a big variable set or also create study’s to optimize variables in the system
Steps:
- Login into the cloud
- uploading experiment with the name and id for the build.
- Running the experiment
- Downloading the results.
