Double-click the Pause component icon
.
The Pause Component Editor appears.
From the Pause Component Editor, select Pause
only from the Action list.
Click Show a dialog while paused to display a
dialog box when the Pause component executes in the simulation process
flow.
The dialog box may contain any of the following items, based on how
the other options for this action are set:
-
A standard message indicating that the simulation process flow has been
paused. You can replace the standard message with a customized message
by clicking Custom Message, and entering a customized
message in the corresponding text box.
-
A Continue button to manually continue the simulation process flow.
-
A message about the file that must be found in the local file system
(and optionally what text it must contain) before continuing the execution,
if this option has been set.
-
A countdown to the automatic resumption is provided, if this option
has been set.
Click Resume as soon as this file exists to pause
the simulation process flow until Isight
creates the specified file.
You can type the path and file information directly in the corresponding
text box, or you can click Browse to navigate to the file. The file name specified can contain
parameter value substitutions (using the {var <parameter
name>} syntax) or a model directory
substitution (using the {modeldir}
syntax). For information about the syntax, see Configuring the File Parameter Information.
-
Click Only if this text is found to specify text
that must exist in the specified file for the simulation process flow
to resume.
The text to search for can contain parameter value substitutions (using
the {var <parameter
name>} syntax) or a model directory substitution (using the {modeldir}
syntax).
-
Click Ignore Case to determine if the case of
the text is important.
Click Resume as soon as e-mail arrives to pause
the simulation process flow until Isight
receives an e-mail from the specified e-mail address.
-
In the Subject contains text box, type the text
that must be in the e-mail’s subject to resume the simulation process
flow.
-
Click Mail Options to specify the information
to use to connect to the mail server and the details of your e-mail account.
Only messages that arrive in your inbox mail folder are checked.
Click Automatically resume to automatically end
any pause in the simulation process flow once the specified (after
option) time limit or clock time (at time option)
is reached.
-
Select after to display the countdown time during
execution so that you know how much time remains before the execution
automatically resumes.
-
Select at time to display the time the execution
resumes. The at time option is useful for deferring
execution of various parts of the simulation process flow until a time
at which computing resources are available or a certain user is available
to perform some interactive process within the simulation process flow.
If the specified time of day has already passed, the simulation process
flow resumes immediately.
Note:
Execution can be resumed at any time by clicking Continue
on the dialog box that appears during execution.
If you do not want the Pause component to automatically
resume, clear the Automatically resume option.
In addition, clearing this option sets the general Timeout
option on this component to “0” (meaning it will never timeout).
For more information about component properties, see General Component Properties.
If your model is going to be executed within a SIMULIA Execution Engine
environment, use the Execute on list to select
the execution location:
Option |
Description |
computer job was submitted from |
The Pause component,
and any associated interface, executes on the computer from which the
job was initially submitted. Select this option if you want the person
executing the model to also be the one prompted with any questions or
parameter lists or just to monitor the status of the pause. This is the
default setting. |
specified Station |
The Pause component executes
on the computer that serves as the SIMULIA Execution Engine
station as specified in the text box. |
any Station |
The Pause component executes on
any available SIMULIA Execution Engine
station as selected by the SIMULIA Execution Engine. |
When executing on your desktop (in Standalone mode), the Pause component
executes on your local computer.
Click OK to save your changes and to close the
Pause Component Editor.
