### 12.4.3. Monitoring Mechanical APDL Server-Mode Jobs

When a job involves Mechanical APDL (MAPDL) running in server mode, (for example, if you have launched the job using the MAPDL Batch job template), the Job Monitor page displays the job status, inputs and outputs, the progress of individual solution steps, and live convergence and solution monitors.

You can monitor the progress of an MAPDL solution on the job’s Status tab.

The Progress panel displays information about the solver’s current activity:

- Current load step

- Progress in the current load step as a percentage

- Current step

- Progress in the current step as a percentage

The Monitors panel displays live convergence and solution monitors.

If you are solving a non-linear problem, and the input file contains the command inputs necessary to perform non-linear diagnostics, the Monitors panel will also display NLH monitors if the solver version is 18.0 or higher. For more information refer to Performing Nonlinear Diagnostics in the Mechanical APDL Structural Analysis Guide. Note that if you are submitting the job to a pre-18.0 version of MAPDL, and diagnostic commands are specified in the input file, NLH and CND files will be generated in the working directory, but NLH monitors will not be available in the job view.

Monitors remain displayed in the job view even after a job has been executed, or has failed. They do not remain displayed if you cancel the job.

For more information about MAPDL solution monitoring, see the Monitor command in the Mechanical APDL Command Reference.
