Using Distributed Analysis

If you have purchased the appropriate license, the Electronics Desktop supports distributed solve, which involves distributing rows of a parametric table during Optimetrics solve.

If you do a distributed solve, the Electronics Desktop launches solver engines on multiple machines, assuming that you have configured your HPC and Analysis Options correctly. Also see Large Scale DSO for Parametric Analysis.

To run a distributed analysis:

1. Under Optimetrics in the project tree, right-click the specific parametric setup.

   A shortcut menu appears.

2. Select Analyze from the shortcut menu.
   Note:

   After you define a parametric sweep, a shortcut menu becomes available when you right-click the setup name.

   While the analysis is running, you can access parent and child progress bars. By default, only the main progress bar is displayed, while the child progress bars (or subtasks) remain hidden. You can toggle between showing and hiding the child progress bars.

   To show the child progress bars:

   • Right-click the progress window, and select Show Subtask Progress Bars.

     To hide the child progress bars:

   • Right-click the progress window, and select Hide Subtask Progress Bars.
