The execution of entire procedure sequences on other compute nodes can be useful if computers within a network are used to different extents or if computers with different computing power are available.
The calculation of an entire procedure sequence may require additional files in addition to the version file. Before executing the procedure sequence on another compute node, you must select the external data in the general procedure settings that are transmitted to the compute node together with the version file and the calculation call.
The calculation status of the external calculation process is displayed. During the calculation, the version file is locked for further entries and calculations. You can interrupt the monitoring of the calculation progress and also close the version file. The calculation is still performed on the external node. Even if the version file is opened again, the model remains locked for further input until the calculation has been completed on the external computer and the results have been sent back to your computer and integrated.
A procedure step to merge results is not necessary.
