Time estimation bar
There are several tests for which it is difficult to predict the duration because there
are many factors impacting the complexity. The two main tests concerned are the model
map and the efficiency map tests. We have implemented a method to evaluate the expected
run-time based on historical data of previous runs. This method considers the following
data:
- Number of currents computed.
- Dependency on the rotor position.
- Thermal mode on magnets.
- Non-skewed vs skewed design.
- Design complexity.
- Distribution settings.
This information is displayed in the status bar, along with the progress information
about the significant intermediate steps of the current test. You can see an
illustration below.

| 1 | Parameters impacting on the complexity of the test. |
| 2 | Information about the progress. |
| 3 | Estimated remaining time. |
In addition to this, if the distribution is enabled, we also developed a method that evaluates the most appropriate distribution number to ensure that the Flux job can be safely run on your host and that the distribution factor is well-suited for your design size.
