Installing the SIMULIA Execution Engine Server

This section describes how to install and uninstall the SIMULIA Execution Engine using Isight 2024 installer.

See the SIMULIA Established Products Installation Guide for complete information about the suite installer and assembly media, which includes Isight and the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

SIMULIA Execution Engine can be installed on either Windows or Linux in the following modes:

  • Interactive Installation Mode:

In an interactive installation mode, the setup procedure prompts you to answer questions until the installation is completed. You can use any of the two interactive modes of installation to install SIMULIA Execution Engine:

  1. Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode
  2. Text User Interface (TUI) mode

Even though the two methods are different, the list and the sequence of the questions are exactly same in both the cases.

  • Silent Installation Mode:

You need to provide a previously generated response file to the setup, and the installation completes without any interaction.

Text User Interface mode and Silent mode are not supported for TomEE based SIMULIA Execution Engine installations.

You must belong to the Administrators group to install SIMULIA Execution Engine on Windows, or have the privileges assigned to the Administrators group ; see Installing as an Administrator (Windows) or Non-Root User (Linux) .

Root (superuser) privileges are not required to install SIMULIA Execution Engine on Linux. However, root permissions may be needed beforehand to grant the installing user write access to the installation directory; for example, in /opt .

Note: Installation will fail on Windows if the media unload directory names and/or the installation path exceeds certain limits, because of the overall limit of 260 characters imposed by Windows. During installation or unzip operations, subdirectories and files will be created in the specified directories. The longest full pathname length must be limited to well within the 260 characters limit. Therefore, both unload and installation paths should be kept reasonably short to guarantee that this limit is not reached

Important: After installation of SIMULIA Execution Engine, make sure that the following field must be specified in acs.properties file and pointing to a directory otherwise the SIMULIA Execution Engine will not start. For example, 
fiper.system.filemgr.rootFilePath=D:/SIMULIA/Isight/2024/filemgr
