If you set the working directory location to be under a shared HPC directory, file transfers will not be necessary, because the files will already be in the HPC staging directory. In this case you will be able to select the No file transfer needed option on the File Management tab of an RSM configuration. For details about this option, refer to Specifying File Management Properties.

The Workbench project directory or Mechanical client scratch directory determines the location of the client working directory.
