Using the SIMULIA Execution Engine Station

SIMULIA Execution Engine stations are computers on the network that have been registered with the SIMULIA Execution Engine to provide services to the system and to handle the execution of workitems. The station software consists of a framework for receiving workitems, communicating with the library, executing components, and returning results.

The SIMULIA Execution Engine station is a long-running process that performs work on behalf of the SIMULIA Execution Engine. An instance of the station must be run on any computer that is to act as part of the distributed and parallel execution environment.

The SIMULIA Execution Engine station is a multithreaded Java application that can handle many concurrent requests. For an overview of the complete SIMULIA Execution Engine system, including stations, see About the SIMULIA Execution Engine Environment.

You can customize the operation of a SIMULIA Execution Engine station using the station.properties file or by using the equivalent command line arguments when you start the station. See Configuring SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Properties for more details.
