About the Dashboard Interface

The Dashboard interface shows you varied status information about the SIMULIA Execution Engine, the stations, access control, and license usage. The Dashboard allows you to perform various management and monitoring operations on the SIMULIA Execution Engine and the stations.

The Stations tab of the Dashboard dialog box shows information in the following columns.
