Download Output Files From a Space

For jobs that run from a space, CONVERGE Horizon uploads the output files from the job cluster to the space after the simulation ends. The output directory in the space has the same path as the input directory, with the job ID appended to the directory name. An example is shown below.

If you need to view or download output files while a job is running, you must SSH to the cluster.

You can download a single file from the space by clicking the Download File (single-download-button) button or download multiple files by selecting them and clicking the Download Selected Files (multiple-download-button) button.

Downloading multiple files will work only if your browser is configured to (1) allow multiple downloads and (2) save downloaded files to a designated folder. In Chrome, the required settings are:

  • Set Automatic downloads to Allow for horizon.convergecfd.com.

  • Turn off Ask where to save each file before downloading.

If you use a different browser, refer to the browser’s documentation for information about settings that control this behavior.

Depending on how many files you select to download, you may notice a delay of several seconds or minutes before the downloads begin.

If you have installed the command-line interface, it may be faster to download multiple files at the terminal with the space:download command. If you work exclusively in the web interface and you typically download all of the output files for every job, consider using the option to compress output files when you create a new job.
