Using Legacy DSO Licenses for Parametric Analysis

In general, Twin Builder distributes Optimetrics variations using Ansys HPC licenses. In specific cases it is still possible to distribute variations using the legacy distributed solve option (DSO) license. Future releases, however, will require HPC licenses for distributed solves.

To use legacy DSO licenses for a parametric analysis in Twin Builder:

• All designs that are analyzed (by launching Analyze All on the project level) must be Twin Builder designs.

• Any design that is analyzed (by launching Analyze All on the design level or Analyze for a specific simulation or Optimetrics setup) must not use any coupling components such as Maxwell, HFSS, PExprt, and so on.

• At least one of the simulation tasks must be an Optimetrics setup.

The setting to turn on the use legacy DSO licenses for a parametric analysis in Twin Builder, can be found in the Twin Builder General Options (Tools > Options > General Options > Twin Builder). See Twin Builder Options: General Options for more information.
