End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, AWS will end support for AWS SimSpace Weaver. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the SimSpace Weaver console or SimSpace Weaver resources. For more information, see AWS SimSpace Weaver end of support.

Spatial domain configuration

To specify the properties for a spatial domain, replace spatial-domain-name with a name of your choice. The name must be 3-64 characters long and can contain the characters A -Z , a -z , 0 -9 , and _ - (hyphen). Specify the properties of the spatial domain after the name. 

  spatial-domain-name:
    launch_apps_by_partitioning_strategy:
      partitioning_strategy: "partitioning-strategy-name"
      grid_partition:
        x: number-of-partitions-along-x-axis
        y: number-of-partitions-along-y-axis
    app_config:
      package: "app-package-s3-uri"
      launch_command: ["app-launch-command", "parameter1", ...]
      required_resource_units:
        compute: app-resource-units
    image: "ecr-repository-uri"

Spatial domain partitioning strategy

The launch_apps_by_partitioning_strategy section (required) specifies the partitioning strategy and dimensions (in number of partitions) of the simulation space.

    launch_apps_by_partitioning_strategy:
      partitioning_strategy: "partitioning-strategy-name"
      grid_partition:
        x: number-of-partitions-along-x-axis
        y: number-of-partitions-along-y-axis

Properties

partitioning_strategy

Specifies the partitioning strategy for this spatial domain.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Valid values: The value of this property must match the name of a partitioning strategy defined in the partitioning_strategies section. For more information, see Partitioning strategies.

grid_partition

Specifies the number of partitions along each axis (x and y) in a grid topology. These dimensions describe the total simulation space for this domain.

Required: Conditional. This property can only be specified if the topology is set to "Grid". This property depends on the grid_placement_groups property of the specified partitioning strategy for this domain:

  • This property is required if this domain's partitioning strategy doesn't specify a grid_placement_groups configuration.

  • If there is a grid_placement_groups configuration but you don't specify grid_partition , then SimSpace Weaver will use the same dimensions as the grid_placment_groups configuration.

  • If you specify both grid_placement_groups and grid_partition , the dimensions of grid_partition must be multiples of the dimensions of grid_placement_groups (for example, if your grid_placement_groups dimensions are 2x2, then some valid dimensions for grid_partition are 2x2, 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10).

Type: Integer (for each axis)

Valid values: 1-20

Spatial app configuration

The app_config section (required) specifies the package, launch configuration, and resource requirements for apps in this domain.


    app_config:
      package: "app-package-s3-uri"
      launch_command: ["app-launch-command", "parameter1", ...]
      required_resource_units:
        compute: app-resource-units

Properties

package

Specifies the package (zip file) that contains the app executable/binary. The package must be stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Only zip file format is supported.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Valid values: The Amazon S3 URI of the package in an Amazon S3 bucket. For example, s3://weaver-myproject-111122223333-app-zips-us-west-2/MySpatialApp.zip.

launch_command

Specifies the executable/binary file name and command-line parameters to launch the app. Each command-line string token is an element in the array.

Required: Yes

Type: String array

required_resource_units

Specifies the number of resource units that SimSpace Weaver should allocate to each instance of this app. A resource unit is a fixed amount of virtual central processing units (vCPUs) and random-access memory (RAM) on a worker. For more information about resource units, see Endpoints and service quotas. The compute property specifies a resource unit allocation for the compute family of workers, and is currently the only valid type of allocation.

Required: Yes

Type: Integer

Valid values: 1-4

Custom container image

The image property (optional) specifies the location of a container image that SimSpace Weaver uses to run apps in this domain (not supported in versions 1.13 and 1.12). Provide the URI to a repository in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) that contains the image. If this property isn't specified but the default_image is specified in the top level simulation_properties section, apps in this domain use the default_image. For more information, see Custom containers.

    image: "ecr-repository-uri"

Properties

image

Specifies the location of a container image to run apps in this domain.

Required: No

Type: String

Valid values:

  • The URI of a repository in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) (for example, 111122223333.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-ecr-repository:latest)
