Submit a Job

Run a solver by selecting a solver input file and submitting a job in your preferred appliance.

Use Jobs, the Altair One default appliance to monitor your jobs. Job output files are saved in the same directory as the input files. Altair Drive allows you to view model files in 3D if your job results include them. The Image viewer can be used to preview model files, and the Text viewer can be used to view text-related result files.

1. To run a solver:
   • Right-click the file and click Solve With.
   • Hover over the file and click > Solve With.
   • Select the file and click Solve With on the Action Ribbon.
   The associated solvers for the selected input file are displayed.

   Note: If the Solve With option is not present for your input file then reach out to the administrator to update the content type for your input file.
