Running simulations

Running simulations is the SIM workflow step where prepared inputs become results. Use this section when you need to choose the right simulation type, submit a run, or generate a batch of runs.

Simulation types

Type	Use it for	Required setup inputs
FastSim	Circuit-based lap simulation.	Vehicle, Circuit, Ambient, Driver.
OpenSim	Open simulation without circuit path. Use prescribed driver-control timelines.	Vehicle, Ambient, Driver, Driver Input.
Batch Simulations	Generate and queue many simulation designs from parameter ranges.	Same setup as FastSim or OpenSim, plus design-space parameters.

Choose a workflow

FastSim

Run a circuit-based lap simulation with vehicle, circuit, ambient, and driver inputs.

OpenSim

Run an open simulation from Driver Input timelines instead of a circuit.

Batch Simulations

Define parameter ranges, generate designs, and queue multiple simulation runs.

Before you run

Select the correct team.
Confirm the team has enough credits.
Prepare the required vehicle, driver, ambient, and circuit or Driver Input.
Use clear names and tags so the run can be found later in tables and analysis.

What happens after submission

After a simulation is added, it appears in the Simulations table. Status can be Pending, Running, Completed, Failed, Canceled, or Timeout.

Open a simulation row to review:

Tab	Use it for
Summary	Metadata, resource usage, performance metrics, and lap table when data exists.
Analysis	Telemetry charts, lap selection, layouts, and simulation comparison.
Configuration	Simulation settings, circuit, ambient, and vehicle snapshot used for the run.
Processing	Processing metrics, resource history, and logs.
