Overview

...

A simulation can be run on the local machine or on a different machine on the network in a way that it doesn't access the user interface of 3ds Max and will only require a Simulation License. If you have several Simulation Licenses, you could run several simulations on several different network machine without engaging a GUI License. Phoenix FD needs to be installed on every such machine. You can use this functionality to simulate one scene while you prepare another scene on a different machine, or simultaneously run copies of the same scene with slightly different simulation settings on several machines, so you would be able to quickly find the best settings.
