### 1.2.4. Remote Simulation and Visualization

EKM enables you to perform simulations remotely, and easily monitor and manage simulation jobs. Features related to jobs and job management include:

- Batch jobs: EKM enables you to set up remote simulation jobs that will run on their own without any user intervention. When you create a batch job you specify job submission settings and upload files to a working directory. Jobs are submitted by ANSYS Remote Solve Manager (RSM) to a local or remote batch queuing system for scheduling.

- Interactive jobs: EKM also enables you to run simulation jobs in real time, meaning that you interact with the system as the job executes. When you start an interactive job you are prompted to select an application to launch (for example, ANSYS Workbench). Interactive jobs are submitted to EnginFrame, a high-performance computing (HPC) application portal that manages all aspects of the interactive session. EnginFrame integrates with key job schedulers and remote visualization tools for a seamless interactive experience.

- Job templates. Rather than specifying job submission settings every time that you create a job, you can capture desired settings in a job template. Selecting a template in the Start Job dialog box automatically populates the dialog with the settings saved in the template, saving valuable time.

- Job monitors. When a job is started in EKM, a job monitor object is automatically created on the Job Monitor page. You can monitor the status of all jobs simultaneously from this page. Jobs are marked as either `Not Started`, `Queued`, `Running`, or `Finished`. Opening a job monitor objects enables you to view various details about the job, such as inputs and outputs, and job submission settings.
