I'm working with a heavily parameterized (lots of design variables) model and am trying to generate the adm/acf input files for a Monte Carlo through Adams Insight. Unfortunately the process of writing out the adm/acf input files for every Monte Carlo case (not even running the simulation) takes many hours (I suspect due to the number of design variables in the model). I was hoping to submit this process to our compute cluster to speed things up, but that system has no displays present.
With previous versions of Adams I was able to run aview in batch mode on a headless machine by connecting to a dummy Xvfb display (en.wikipedia.org/.../Xvfb), but Adams 2019.2 just throws these errors when I follow the same process (ip address replaced with XX.XXX.X.XX).

Has anyone had any luck running recent version of aview headless? I have no issues running solver on the headless compute cluster but unfortunately the adm/acf generation process must be run inside aview.
