Test Models

Write input files, execute analysis, and extract output responses for models defined in the study Setup.

  1. Go to the Setup > Definition > Test Models step.
  2. Define optional settings.
    • To receive a notification when a task is completed, click and activate Notify.
    • To write the solver output in the Message Log window and/or log-file, click and activate Log External Output.
    • To change the number of concurrent jobs to run, click Multi-Execution and enter a new number; it does not have to be a static entry. Click to choose whether Multi-execution runs jobs in vertical, horizontal, or horizontal (write all first) execution mode.
      • Vertical execution mode performs the write, execute, and extract tasks for all designs simultaneously; that is all designs are written, then executed, then extracted.
      • Horizontal execution mode sequences the write, execute, and extract task for each run independently.
      • Horizontal (Write all First) execution mode sequences the write task for each run first, then sequences the execute and extract tasks for each run independently.
      Set Multi-Execution to 0 to stop the submission of new jobs.
  3. Run definition tasks (write input files, execute analysis, and extract output responses) in the following ways:
    • Concurrently run tasks for all models in the definition by clicking Run Definition.
    • Concurrently run tasks for an individual model in the definition by clicking All in the Test column of the model to run.
    • Select an individual task to perform by clicking Write, Execute, or Extract in the Test column of the model to run.
HyperStudy creates simulation files in the approaches/setup_1-def/run__00001/m_i folders, where m_i stands for the ith model.
Review the run matrix by clicking the Model Data tab.
