CREATES A NEW SIMULATION BASED ON FILES FROM PARENT SIMULATION¶
Creates a new simulation by cloning selected files from an existing parent simulation, assigning a fresh name, HPC configuration, and optional post-processing template. Use this worker when you need to branch a simulation run from a known baseline without manually re-uploading input decks.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | ID of the parent simulation whose files will be used as the source; select from the simulations remote lookup — required. |
| Simulation Name | name | text | — | ✓ | Human-readable name assigned to the newly created simulation; must be unique within the project — required. |
| Description | description | textarea | — | Optional free-text description summarising the purpose or variant of the new simulation. | |
| File Names to Copy | filenames_to_copy | text | — | Comma-separated list of file names to copy from the parent simulation (e.g. ‘input.k,material.inc’); leave blank to copy all files. | |
| Main Input Filename | main_input_name | text | — | File name of the primary solver input deck within the copied set (e.g. ‘main.k’); used to designate the entry-point for the HPC job. | |
| HPC Configuration | hpcconfig | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | HPC configuration record that defines cluster, queue, and resource settings for the new simulation’s job submission — required. |
| Post-processing Template | template_id | remote_lookup | — | Optional post-processing response template ID applied to the new simulation for automated KPI extraction after the run completes. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Simulation | simulation_id | integer | Integer primary key of the newly created simulation record; use as input to downstream solver or post-processing workers. |
| HPCJob | hpcjob_id | integer | Integer primary key of the HPC job created alongside the new simulation; use to monitor or poll job status in subsequent workflow steps. |
