"Path Translation Rules" (PTR) are actually always required, even in networks where all computers share the same operating system. There, you need them if you trigger jobs with a local path to a scene. In so-called heterogenous networks it is a little more difficult, because different operating systems also use different path notations. Without these path translations rules it is impossible for RealFlow to identify the directories where the simulation data are stored. The result is that the node cannot contribute to a simulation. One of the

Let's assume you have a small network with three computers: 2 with Windows operating systems and 1 with OS X. The correct PTR depend on the computer where your RealFlow GUI application is running, because the location of RealFlow plays an important role. If you have more than one license on different computers you can choose from which machine you want to trigger a network simulation, but this also means that you have to specify path translation rules for each RealFlow application as well. With just a single RealFlow GUI license you only have to do this once.

The “Job Manager” can also be installed on any other machine – it is only important that the IP under “Manager Location” points to this computer and the “Job Nodes” can see it in the network. Under Windows there is the “Documents and Settings” folder – this can also be seen as your home directory. In this example, the RealFlow projects are stored in this directory, but any other path is valid as well. The question is: “Which path do computers have to follow to reach the folder given above?” To get the path for “Computer 1”, one possibility is to use Window's "Explorer" or "Internet Explorer" and type in the path to the desired folder. Please use the normal slash to separate the directories. If the path is valid, the folder's content pops up in the form of a new window. Now, the path can be used under "Prefix"
