This article outlines the process of running a large simulation job across several computers on a local network or cluster. This feature is available for FDTD solver and varFDTD solver in MODE.

Setting the Resource Configuration
- Create or open your simulation project
- Open "Resources"
- Specify the Hostname or IP of the machine where you want to remotely distribute your jobs, separated by a comma (,)
- Indicate the number of processes for each of the machines, separated by a comma (,).

Calculating how many solver licenses are required
The number of solver/accelerator/HPC licenses required to run your jobs depends on the number of cores used, the number of concurrent simulations, the type of job, and the type of license you have purchased. See the Understanding solver, accelerator, and HPC license consumption page for details.
