9         Subregions

In QW-Simulator MultiGPU, the user establishes how many devices will be used for particular project calculation. The decision is made beforehand. Every device is running its own part of the project called Subregion. User can create them by adding in editor of choice a plane called Subregion Border. Project exported with Subregions can be simulated only in QW-Simulator MultiGPU. To run simulation using other simulator than QW-Simulator MultiGPU, the partitioning should be turned off in Export Options dialogue and project needs to be re-exported (see Export Options chapter for more information).

Create Subregions

The Create Subregions dialogue for creating subregions can be invoked:

·        with the  command from Tools group context menu in the Tree View

·        with the  command from Subregion Borders group context menu in the Tree View

·        with the Model->Subregions… command from main menu

Subregion Borders are allowed along one direction only (X, Y or Z). If the creation of Subregion Borders is restricted, the proper message will appear in the Report View window.

Edit Subregion Border

The Edit Subregion Border dialogue for editing subregion border can be invoked:

·        with the  command from the selected subregion border context menu in the Tree View

·        with the doubleclick on the selected subregion border in Subregion Borders group in the Tree View

Python code

The python code generated by Create Subregions dialogue for four Subregions (three Subregion Borders needed) in X direction:

App.ActiveDocument.SubregionBorderX1.Placement = Base.Placement(Base.Vector(5.0000000,5.0000000,5.0000000),Base.Rotation(0.5000000,0.5000000,0.5000000,0.5000000))
