Node

CloudConnect functionality on the Rescale compute nodes. Any files created during simulations can be viewed live during the solving using the Rescale Live Tailing.

Convergence Plot

If the simulation has non-linearities, Mechanical APDL will write the solver convergence data to file.gst. If the file.gst is created, CloudConnect will create a plot of all the different convergence criteria present in the simulation and creates a image file called convergence_plot.png. The plot can be viewed in the Rescale web portal using the Live Tailing when the job is running and in the result files when the job is completed.

Rescale Job Analyzer

Rescale Job Analyzer is automatically added for all jobs created using CloudConnect. Job Analyzer tracks hardware utilization during jobs, such as CPU and memory usage. The data is plotted to different .png files and are then combined into all_metric.png. These metrics can then be used to debug jobs and figure out if compute resources have been under of over budgeted.
