SET UP RSM TO QUEUE JOBS IN MY

COMPUTER [MECHANICAL]
Problem/Description:
Im a Mechanical user and Id like to set up RSM to queue Jobs in my computer and solve all of them
automatically after a while, for example, to start solving all of them at the end of the day.

Solution:
RSM is automatically installed when the products are installed

D-How to queue jobs without solving them?

You can deactivate RSM to accept jobs, so you can queue them and solve all of them afterwards. To do
it, follow the steps explained in this section:

1.-Open local host properties (Figure 15)

Figure 15: RSM Queues Properties

2.- Deactivate: Server Can Accept Jobs option (Figure 16)

Figure 16: RSM Queues Properties

You can now launch jobs to be queued on RSM. This jobs wont be solved until this option is reactivated

Example:

Launching a couple of jobs with the option Server can accept jobs deactivated (Figures 17 & 18)

Figure 18: Update second job

Both jobs are queued but not solved (Figure 19)

Once RSM is allowed again to accept jobs, the models are solved. (Figure 20 & 21)
