I am trying to optimize a waveguide divider with one if it's ports loaded with a waveguide filter. Simulating a full wave model would be compute-heavy, so i decided to try loading one of the divider ports with Touchstone .s2p of a filter. The only way of doing this in AEDT that i found is creating a circuit model and putting my HFSS model in as a subcircuit and putting an NPORT node with an .s2p to one of the outputs and then optimizing Nexxim Linear Network setup with Dynamic Link variables.

I have configured Circuit HPC to run 3 jobs in parallel, but when i start the optimization three jobs appear in progress panel, but only one of them being simulated, while others a re hanging there with "RUNNING" status. Is that me configuring something wrong, or is it AEDT not behaving the way it is supposed to?

AEDT 2025R2 btw

If you are performing a co-simulation between HFSS and Circuit, the HFSS setup might not be configured for distributed analysis.
Open the Analysis Configuration for the HFSS design; if "Use Automatic Settings" is checked, increase the "Num variations to distribute" value to greater than 1.
If "Use Automatic Settings" is not checked, increase the "tasks" value to greater than 1.
