Changing a Solution Priority for System Resources
You can modify the priority of Ansys Electronics Desktop simulations so that system resources are allocated to other computer processes before the solver. If you reduce the priority of Ansys Electronics Desktop simulations, your other software tools will respond as they normally would, but Ansys Electronics Desktop simulations may take longer.
The Windows Task Manager does not indicate a reduced priority for the Ansys Electronics Desktop solvers. It only lists the priority of the engine manager, which appears normal, not the actual engine. The actual engine is in a separate thread, whose priority is not visible in the Windows Task Manager.
To change the priority of simulations for the system's resources:
- While a solution is running, right-click the Progress window, and click
Change Priority on the shortcut menu.
- To affect priority for future simulation runs, click Tools> Options> HPC and Analysis and click the Options tab of the resulting dialog box.
- From the Change Priority menu (or the Default
Process Priority drop-down menu), select one of the following priorities:
Highest
Above Normal
Normal
The default.
Below Normal
Lowest Priority
- Click OK.
