Activity Center¶
The Activity Center displays real-time updates for your simulations and platform notifications in one unified feed.

Overview¶
The Activity Center shows:
- Running Simulations - Live progress updates with runtime counters
- Completed Simulations - Successful runs ready for analysis
- Failed Simulations - Errors with hover-to-view details
- Platform Notifications - Team invitations, announcements, and system messages
Accessing the Activity Center¶
Click the bell icon in the top-right corner of the navigation bar. The badge shows the total number of active items (unread notifications + active simulations).
Activity Feed¶
All activity is shown in a single feed, sorted by most recent first.
Simulations¶
Each simulation shows:
- Simulation Name - Your vehicle configuration name
- Simulation Type Badge - QSS, Kinematics, Ride, etc.
- Status Icon:
- 🔵 Spinning loader - In Progress
- ✅ Green check - Complete
- ⚠️ Yellow warning - Partial Success (some tasks failed)
- ❌ Red X - Failed
- Runtime - Live counter for running simulations, total duration for completed
Progress Tracking¶
For Sweep simulations with multiple tasks:
- Progress Bar - Visual breakdown of completed (green) vs failed (red) tasks
- Task Count - "42/50" showing completed out of total
- Success/Failed Breakdown - Number of completed and failed tasks
- Error Details - Hover over "Hover for Details" to see error messages
Notifications¶
Each notification shows:
- Title - Notification subject
- Message - Detailed content (may include links)
- Timestamp - "Just now", "5m ago", "2h ago", "3d ago"
- Unread Indicator - Blue dot for unread notifications
Common notification types:
- Team invitations
- Platform announcements
- System messages
Team Invitations
Click on team invitation notifications to jump directly to the Team Management page.
Managing Activity¶
Remove Individual Items¶
Hover over any item to reveal the X button, then click to remove it:
- Notifications - Marks as read and removes from feed
- Simulations - Clears from activity center (results remain available in Results)
Clear All¶
Click Clear All at the top of the Activity Center to:
- Mark all notifications as read
- Clear all completed and failed simulations from the feed
Results Preservation
Clearing simulations from the Activity Center does not delete your results. Access them anytime from the Results pages.
Status Types¶
Running (In Progress)¶
Blue spinning loader with live runtime counter. For sweeps, shows real-time progress bar as tasks complete.
Completed (Success)¶
Green check icon. Simulation finished successfully. All tasks completed without errors.
Partial Success¶
Yellow warning icon. Some tasks succeeded, others failed. Common in large sweeps where certain parameter combinations may be invalid.
Failed¶
Red X icon. Simulation encountered an error and stopped. Hover over "Hover for Details" to see the error message.
Best Practices¶
Monitor Long-Running Simulations
Keep the Activity Center open during large sweeps to monitor progress and catch failures early.
Check Error Details
When simulations fail, hover over the error details to understand what went wrong before re-running.
Regular Cleanup
Use "Clear All" periodically to keep your Activity Center focused on active work.
Next Steps¶
- Launch simulations from Sim Dropdown
- Set up parameter studies with Sweep
- Analyze results in Trace View
- Manage team notifications in User Settings
The Activity Center automatically updates as simulations progress and new notifications arrive.
