Upload Input Files to a SpaceΒΆ

You must upload input files to a space in the data center where you plan to run your job. Follow these steps to upload your case in the CONVERGE Horizon web interface:

  1. Go to the Spaces page and click on the name of the space to which you want to upload files.

  2. Upload all of your input files into one directory. This will serve as the Case Directory from which you run your job.

    • To upload an entire directory from your local file system, click Upload Directory.

    • To upload files one by one, create a new directory (Menu > New Directory) and then click Upload Files to select individual files to upload.

Warning

Do not include the following characters in directory names or file names: & < > " '. Jobs will fail if any input file paths include any of these characters.

You can optionally compress your input files into a zip or tar file before uploading the case. This file must be named inputs.zip or inputs.tar.gz, and it must contain the case files in the root directory of the archive. Create a new directory in the space as described above and upload the inputs.zip or inputs.tar.gz file to that directory. After you create the job, CONVERGE Horizon will automatically extract the files on the job cluster before starting the simulation.

There are a few other ways to upload a case without using the web interface. If you have installed the CLI, you can upload input files with the space:upload command. If you are working in CONVERGE Studio, you can use the CONVERGE Horizon button (available in CONVERGE Studio 5 and later versions) to upload your case. To use the latter, you must add your CONVERGE Horizon account settings to CONVERGE Studio in Edit > Preferences > CONVERGE Horizon. Within CONVERGE Studio, you can view documentation by pressing F1.
