About the SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Interface

The SIMULIA Execution Engine station interface shows you various items including status information and logging status.

The station interface appears similar to the example below.



This interface provides you with the following information and options:

  • The name and working directory of the station.

  • Any affinities that are defined for the station, including predefined affinites. See About Station Affinities for more information.

  • The Detail level list allows you to filter the information that is displayed in the Station Log area. The following logging levels are available: Debug, Info, Warning, Error, and SysError. See About Log Message Detail Levels for more information.

  • The Clear button allows you to clear the text displayed in the Station Log area.

  • The Status button provides you with station information, such as the number of threads used and available, the number of workitems in progress, and the available station memory.

  • When activated, the Auto scroll option automatically displays the most recent text messages in the Station Log area.

  • The Shutdown button closes the station interface and stops all associated processes. See Shutting Down a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station for more information.

  • The Renew Lease button forces the station to report its status to the SIMULIA Execution Engine. This notification process lets the SIMULIA Execution Engine know that the station is still functioning properly, which helps eliminate long delays associated with attempting to contact a nonfunctional station. This process is performed automatically after a certain period of time as defined by the fiper.station.leaseinterval property in the station.properties file. For more information on this setting, see Lease Interval.

  • The numbers next to the SIMULIA Execution Engine connection button (in the lower-right corner of the interface) show the number of busy threads, the maximum number of threads, and the number of active threads.

  • The lower-right corner of the interface displays the SIMULIA Execution Engine connection information. The name of the SIMULIA Execution Engine and the user name (if security is enabled) are displayed. Clicking this button displays additional station information in a separate dialog box.
