I have a heavy simulation model. Can I use one of our local machines's available processing capacity along with another machine to run the model quickly? Is there any way we can do this ?
Heavy simulation model on Distributed Systems (without Experimenter/Optimizer)?

Hi @Shashank S, I'm assuming you have already looked at these posts below and you want to do something similar. Is that correct?
Hi @Tanner Poulton, Thanks for your response.
Yes I have gone through these posts already, My requirement is slightly different, in these posts we are using distributed systems for carrying out experiments and optimization, correct ?
What I want is using distributed systems for running only one scenario in a model (very heavy, due to lot of objects & flow items), not experiments not optimization. So it will ease running the heavy models.
Distributing a single scenario run over multiple computers introduces a whole set of issues with trying to synchronize the timing and events of separate models. If the models aren't synchronized, then you can get into errors if the actions of one would change the events of the other, but the other has already passed the time where the change is. And trying to synchronize the timing of the runs is a difficult task.
Rather than trying to distribute your model into multiple models on multiple computers, you should instead consider what simplifying assumptions and speed improvements you can make to the model so that it runs faster on a single system.
