Maestro: Start another simulation while one is already running

HoWei

Hi,

I have started a long transient simulation running with 10 jobs. While this simulation is running, I want to start another quick DC simulation out of the same Maestro-test.

I tried to increase the max. jobs from 10 to 12 via the "Job options" ("start immediately" is checked) and expected to get 2 more jobs for the DC simulation.

But that is not working. The DC simulation is in "pending" state.

How can I start another simulation next to the already started simulation ?

    Dear HoWei,

    This may be a silly question, but have you set the simulation sets to run in parallel in lieu of in series? If they are set to run in series, then the behavior you are observing is exactly how Assembler or Explorer will behave when a second simulation set is submitted and the first set is still running.

    To change the simulation option to “parallel”, under the menu item Run->Options, as shown in Figure 1, the resulting panel, shown in Figure 2, allows you to select the “parallel” option.
