Inactivity Timeout for SOLIDWORKS Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, and SOLIDWORKS Plastics

When you run SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Plastics, or Flow Simulation studies, the network licenses remain active and do not time out. SOLIDWORKS holds the licenses during the calculation process, which is considered an activity.

Inactivity periods, defined by a TIMEOUT option, only take effect after the studies finish calculating.

Previously, licenses could time out while studies were still running. In situations with limited licenses, another user in the network could take your licenses, leaving you without licenses to resume an analysis after completing a study.
