A Job description file is created using Windows HPC Job Manager. If a job description file is specified, the settings in this file will be used to obtain the following job properties:

• Project (this is different from Ansoft project)

• Job run options

• Node groups that filter the nodes available to run the job

• Node list that limits the nodes on which the job can run

• Job Licenses

• Node prioritization: given the nodes available for the job, this property allows you to determine the node preferences

See the Windows HPC Job Manager for documentation of above properties.

Pressing the Finish button submits the job. Pressing the Back button returns to the Submit HPC Job: Tasks dialog. Pressing the Cancel button dismisses the dialog without submitting the job.
