How to connect to a remote DPF server with Mechanica DPF
Mechanical 2024 R1 release material mentions a Remote Postprocessing capability using a DPF server, but I haven't been able to locate any documentation on how to do this.
Standalone DPF has info on how to start a server, but Im not sure if that is applicable. ACT also has method for connecting and disconnecting to a server, plus all result object have a method for retrieving result:
- Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Solution.StartRemoteDPFPostServerOnREP
- Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Solution.StopRemoteDPFPostServer
- Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Results.StressResults.EquivalentStress.RetrieveRemoteDPFResults
How does the remote postprocessing work and is it possible to connect to a remote DPF server using Mechanical DPF?

Could you please point me to where this is mentioned in the release notes exactly? Usually for remote postprocessing with DPF we'll turn to PyDPF, not Mechanical DPF. See this page for further info:https://dpf.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/user_guide/server_types.html

It is mentioned in the "What's New in Ansys Mechanical 2024 R1" PowerPoint presentation on Ansys Channel SharePoint slide 282 / 298.

Thanks for the info. I believe this would be something specific offered if the model is solved through HPS.
