Hi everyone, I’m building an HDA to manage several simulations, but I noticed that the performance becomes significantly slower compared to running the sims directly in the HIP file.

Are there recommended practices for optimizing heavy simulations inside an HDA?
For example, specific nodes to avoid, ways to reduce unnecessary cooking, or common setup tips that can help improve performance?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

use Performance Monitor to see where the potential slowdown comes from

since ideally there should be no inherent slowdown when simulation runs inside of HDA or not, and many SOP level solvers are HDAs to begin with

so any slowdown is likely coming from how the HDA is build and what more is being cooked during sim compared to the sim outside, etc..
