Download results after remote (hpc) job finished - FetchRemoteResults / Status

Hello.
The aim here is to initialize downlaoding of results after remote job has finished (ideally given that no error has occured).

While remote solving, Model.Analyses.Solution.Status returns Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.SolutionStatusType.SolveRequired

Unfortunately the same status is returned when the job has finished (green arrow in Mechanical). Any other way to know that the hpc job has finished from inside the Mechanical?

Strange the status property used below returns Done when it run and is green (tick mark), and Solverquired when it is yellow, so seems fine (did not use a remote solve / hpc when trying this should be said).

Here are some posts that might be of help:

Thank you so much, Erik. Unfortunately, the discussion provided are about local solving. There is no access to solve.out since it is solving remotely. Or is it?

If one submits the update from workbench it will automatically download files once completed, so then the status should be fine and up to date as files are downloaded.

With HPS there will be a button for automatically downloading when submitting from mechanical

Once that is done the status should be updated I would imagine.

All the best

As we said With HPC/remote solve we need as we do manually, the downloading of results.

So based on the above observation, this works for remote solve (tried it in 2024 R2)

Model.Analyses[0].Solution.Solve() # start remote solve

Model.Analyses[0].Solution.GetResults() # as we said we need to download results from remote solve

Model.Analyses[0].Solution.Status # status is ok now done

All the best
