Problem:
When running optimization studies with multiple solutions (e.g., static + modal),
NX opens solution monitor windows for each trial. These windows superpose and cause
usability issues during long optimization runs.
Solution:
- Automatically disable solution monitor when solving all solutions (solution_name=None)
- Loop through all solutions and set "solution monitor" property to False
- Implemented in solve_simulation.py before solve execution (lines 271-295)
- Includes error handling with graceful fallback
Benefits:
- No monitor window pile-up during optimization studies
- Better performance (no GUI overhead)
- No user configuration required - works automatically
- Based on user-recorded journal (journal_monitor_window_off.py)
Documentation:
- Updated docs/NX_MULTI_SOLUTION_PROTOCOL.md with solution monitor control section
- Added implementation details and when the feature activates
- Cross-referenced user's recorded journal
Implementation: optimization_engine/solve_simulation.py
Documentation: docs/NX_MULTI_SOLUTION_PROTOCOL.md
Reference: nx_journals/user_generated_journals/journal_monitor_window_off.py
