Task Definition Templates

A task definition template defines a solver job. Specifically, it defines the following:

  • Application(s) to run

  • Execution method (command or script)

  • Available solver settings

  • Environment variables

  • Input file types to prompt for

  • Default output file types to be generated

  • Default values for resource requirements, variables, and solver settings (optional)

When you create a project, you must select a task definition template. The template determines the settings that are available in the Create Project wizard and is used to form the job definition for the project.

Default templates are supplied for several Ansys applications and additional templates can be created.
