To become familiar with these settings, it is useful to create a job out of RealFlow with → “Send to job manager”, and open it with → “Edit Job". There you will find all required settings and you can use them as an orientation your own jobs.
File Path
This field specifies the path to the FLW or RFS file which will be used for the current network simulation.
Path | Linux | Windows | Mac Prefix
These four fields carry → rules for distributing drives and folders in your network, and making them available for RealFlow.
Delete
Old, no longer used files will be deleted after the simulation.
Workgroup
If you want to shift the job to a workgroup please choose one from the drop-down menu.
Hold Job
With this option you can delay the execution of the new job. To start a job a node must meet all of the following requirements:
- At least one node must show a "ready status”.
- If a workgroup is specified, a node must belong to the group chosen for the job.
- A nodes must have the same → “RF Version”.
- A node’s maximum number of threads must be equal or higher than the one specified for the job.
Name
If the job contains → IDOCs you have to create one job per IDOC. An IDOC's name is found in RealFlow's → “Nodes” panel.
First Frame | Last Frame
Please define a simulation range here.
Threads
Here, the number of threads used for the job is specified.
Mesh Particles
If you want to perform a mesh job only please enable this checkbox. Please activate “Use Cache” as well.
Maxwell Render
If you want to trigger a preview render instead of a simulation please activate this feature.
Use Cache
This option has to be active for meshing jobs.
RealFlow 201X required
Here you can bind a simulation to RealFlow 201X. All simulation nodes must share exactly the same version number.
