SUBMITS MULTIPLE SIMULATIONS FROM FOLDER¶
Scans a folder for simulation input decks matching a file-name pattern and batch-submits each as a separate HPC job under a shared study. Use this worker when you need to launch a sweep of pre-staged LS-DYNA (or equivalent) runs in one step without manually queuing each deck.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Folder Name | input_folder | file | — | ✓ | Path or file-system reference to the folder containing the staged simulation input decks; all subdirectories will be scanned for files matching the main file pattern. |
| Main File Pattern | main_file_pattern | text | — | ✓ | Glob or regex pattern (e.g. ‘.key’ or ‘.inp’) used to identify the primary input deck file inside each simulation sub-folder; must match exactly one file per run directory. |
| Name Prefix | simulation_prefix | text | — | ✓ | Short string prepended to each auto-generated simulation name to help identify the batch (e.g. ‘Sweep_v3_’); leave blank only if unique naming is not required. |
| Setting Name | hpcconfig | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | HPC settings profile (selected from the platform registry) that defines the cluster, queue, solver executable, and resource limits to apply to every submitted job. |
| Response Template | template_id | remote_lookup | — | Optional response template applied to each submitted simulation for automatic KPI extraction after the run completes; leave unset if no post-processing template is needed. | |
| Study Name | study_name | text | — | ✓ | Name of the study or project grouping under which all submitted simulations will be registered, enabling consolidated result tracking and reporting. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Records | records | dataset | Dataset containing one row per submitted simulation with metadata columns such as simulation ID, name, submission status, and HPC job reference, suitable for downstream monitoring or reporting workers. |
