Understanding Reference Component Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites when you use the Reference component with internal submodels. The only prerequisite that applies when you use the Reference component with published models is that the required models are published in the local library when running in standalone mode and in the SIMULIA Execution Engine Library when running in SIMULIA Execution Engine mode.

The following prerequisites apply when using the Reference component with remote partner models:

  • Isight’s Federation capability is provided and governed by the SIMULIA Execution Engine. Therefore, to take advantage of this capability, both organizations involved in the collaboration must have the full SIMULIA Execution Engine environment installed. In addition, the installations must use the same application server product (e.g., WebSphere-to-WebSphere or WebLogic-to-WebLogic) because of the way the communication and transfer of information is performed. For more information about installing the SIMULIA Execution Engine, refer to the SIMULIA Execution Engine Installation and Configuration Guide that matches your installation.

  • For two SIMULIA Execution Engine-enabled organizations to collaborate, they must register each other as “partners” so that the necessary connection protocols can be established. Partner registration is performed as a SIMULIA Execution Engine administrator function and can be done at any time. For more information about defining a SIMULIA Execution Engine partner, refer to the SIMULIA Execution Engine Federation (B2B) Guide.

  • For an organization to share a model with another organization, the organization must publish the model to the SIMULIA Execution Engine Library. In addition, the organization must select the Share this model with other SIMULIA Execution Engine environments option, which specifies the necessary information to identify the SIMULIA Execution Engine partner to which to share this model. For more information about publishing models, see Publishing Objects to the Isight Library in the Isight User’s Guide.
