About Running Multiple Stations on a Single Host Computer

In most cases you should install only one instance of the SIMULIA Execution Engine station on a single computer. You can, however, install and run more than one if desired.

In general, a single SIMULIA Execution Engine station manages all the resources of a single computer, including running multiple simultaneous simulation process flows. The station adjusts its workload level automatically for multiple CPU systems. For information on manually adjusting the concurrency (loading) level of the computer, see Concurrency Limit.

It may be desirable in some cases to run multiple SIMULIA Execution Engine stations on the same physical computer. In this case each station must have a distinct station name. By default, the station name is the host computer name; however, the station name can be specified manually. To manually specify the name, see Station Name.

Unique names are required even if the stations are connecting to different SIMULIA Execution Engine servers. Only one station on a computer can be configured to run as a service/daemon; the others must be started manually.
