You can save computing power on your local computer by launching jobs on the cloud. To run jobs on the cloud, you need a current Autodesk® Account, an Autodesk ID and password, and Cloud Credits.
There are different kinds of jobs that you can send to the cloud:
- Mesh jobs
- Analysis jobs
- Auto-mesh analysis jobs
Mesh or Analysis jobs
Select where you would like these jobs performed using the Home tab of the ribbon in Synergy. When you first launch Synergy, the jobs default to local solve. Whenever you relaunch Synergy, it defaults to the last setting you selected.
When you run jobs on the cloud, if you lose your internet connection, analyses already scheduled will not be affected, and can be downloaded when your internet connection is restored.
Local Solve is a good option if you need results immediately, and do not have immediate access to the internet.
Auto-mesh analysis
An auto-mesh analysis runs both the mesh and the analysis in the same location. This location is based on where you specified the analysis to be run.
