Parameters

BOffLoad

True to offload the coordinating computer's simulation processing to other computers on the network, false to let the coordinating computer participate in network simulation

ComputerNames

Array of names of computers participating in network simulation

Return Value

This method is valid only for SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional or Premium.

Network simulation requires the Intel Direct Sparse solver. Before running network simulation:

1. Set the solver type to swsSolverType_e.swsSolverTypeINTELCluster using one of:
   • ICWBucklingStudyOptions::SolverType
   • ICWDynamicStudyOptions::SolverType
   • ICWFrequencyStudyOptions::SolverType
   • ICWNonLinearStudyOptions::SolverType
   • ICWStaticStudyOptions::SolverType
   • ICWThermalStudyOptions::SolverType
2. Call ICWStudyManager::SetDistributedSimulation to enable network simulation.
