About the SIMULIA Execution Engine

The SIMULIA Execution Engine environment includes two major items that are not present when using Isight in standalone mode: the SIMULIA Execution Engine and at least one SIMULIA Execution Engine station.

The SIMULIA Execution Engine is the nerve center that manages simulation process flow, job dispatching, distributed and parallel computing, results processing and archiving, library activity, and collaboration activities. The SIMULIA Execution Engine uses a commercial middleware layer consisting of a standard J2EE application server and relational database, and it exploits EJB, JMS, JTA, JDBC, Servlet, JSP, and other J2EE technologies.

Isight 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 work items. They consist of a framework for receiving work items, communicating with the library, executing components, and returning results.

For more information about the SIMULIA Execution Engine environment and stations, refer to the SIMULIA Execution Engine Installation and Configuration Guide that matches your installation.
