Configuring the Execution Options

You can control the options that you want the iSIGHT component to take when it executes.

  1. Double-click the iSIGHT component icon .

    The iSIGHT Component Editor appears.

  2. From the iSIGHT Component Editor, click the Execution Options tab.

  3. Set the execution options, as desired:

    Option Description
    Retry iSIGHT license check … times, at intervals of Set the component to check for an available iSIGHT license after a specific number of minutes or seconds. It is useful to set this option when the number of iterations exceeds the number of licenses that you have. For example, if you want to run an iSIGHT component inside of a DOE component and the task will run 200 iterations but you only have 10 licenses, the task run may fail because you have run out of licenses. You can avoid this problem by retrying the license check, which allows you to take advantage of parallel execution (available in the SIMULIA Execution Engine environment) instead of having the job run sequentially.
    Show iSIGHT during execution Determine whether or not iSIGHT appears when the component executes. It is useful to select this option for demos and gaining access to iSIGHT’s Oversight graphics application after a run. Do not use this option unless you set the affinities to run the job on your workstation.

    If you selected Show iSIGHT during execution, the Close iSIGHT after execution option becomes available, allowing you specify to close iSIGHT after the component executes.
    Reinitialize iSIGHT for each execution Ensure that data from previous runs does not influence the next run. You can use this option to update parameter information from the previous execution prior to the next execution of the component.

  4. Click OK to save your changes and to close the iSIGHT Component Editor.
