By the end of this chapter you will be able to:

  • Set up Tasks and Task Plans
  • Schedule Task Plans

Task Plans allow you to set up collections of components to run at the same time – and to schedule when analysis will run on these models. In this exercise you will set up a simple Task Plan to run your model, and schedule it.
