### 12.2.9. Running an Electronics Batch Job

You can use the built-in Electronics Batch job template on the Applications panel to run an electronics simulation batch job. The template has been pre-configured with job submission settings that are specific to ANSYS Electronics Desktop, and works with all supported job schedulers.

When the Electronics Batch template is used, ANSYS Electronics Desktop is launched in server mode, which enables you to perform live monitoring of the solution in EKM.

Note: For successful use of the Electronics template, an administrator must specify the installation directory of Electronics Desktop via environment variables. See Required Configuration for Electronics Batch Jobs.

To run an Electronics job:

1. Click the Applications icon on the title bar, and then click Electronics Batch on the Applications panel.

2. On the first screen of the job wizard, specify the tag to apply to the job (if desired), the job name, and the working directory. For details see Setting Up a Batch Job for details.

3. Click Select files, then select the input files to be uploaded to the working directory. See Setting Up a Batch Job for details.

   You can upload ANSYS Electronics Desktop projects and archives (.aedt and .aedtz files), as well as legacy projects created in Simplorer, Maxwell, HFSS, Designer, and Q3D. Note, however, that legacy projects will be converted to .aedt files and submitted to ANSYS Electronics Desktop for execution.

4. Click Next, then specify the job submission settings:

   Queue

     The job submission queue.

     Note: Electronics jobs will fail if submitted to a queue that uses a local scratch directory. Ensure that you select a queue that uses a shared scratch directory.

   Version

     The version of Electronics Desktop that will be launched.

     Note:

     - The available versions in this drop-down are determined by the `solverVersions` setting in the ekm.xml file. For details see Specifying Remote Process Policies (<remoteProcess>) in the Administration Guide.

     - Features introduced in current or recent releases of EKM may not be available in EKM if you choose a solver from an older release.

   Analysis Specification

     The settings on this tab correspond to settings on the Analysis Specification tab in the Submit Job To dialog box in ANSYS EM products. See RSM Integration with Job Management UI in the Electronics Desktop Online Help for details.

   Compute Resources

     The settings on this tab correspond to settings on the Compute Resources tab in the Submit Job To dialog box in ANSYS EM products. See RSM Integration with Job Management UI in the Electronics Desktop Online Help for details.

   Scheduler Options

     This tab is displayed when the selected Queue is associated with a third-party cluster, and the Show advanced options check box is enabled. Here you can enter scheduler-specific job submission settings. The settings on this tab correspond to settings on the Scheduler Options tab in the Submit Job To dialog box in ANSYS EM products. For more information, see High Performance Computing (HPC) Integration in the Electronics Desktop Online Help.

   Import files into repository after job completion

     If enabled, files in the job's working directory will be copied to a repository folder after the job has been executed.

     Once enabled:

     1. Click Browse to select an Output folder for the files.

     2. If you would like to import specific files or file types into the repository, specify a comma-separated list of patterns in the File patterns box, as shown in the example below. Otherwise, if you specify no patterns, all files in the working directory will be imported.

     Note: This option is not available if you are working in a job-only view.

5. Click Finish to execute the job. While the Electronics application is solving, you can monitor the solution in EKM. See Monitoring Electronics Server-mode Jobs for details.
