Launch ARE VDI Session
Go to the ARE VDI page and launch a session with the following directives:-

4per simulated year + Walltime (hours) → ≈4per simulated year.
With the current state of the ARE/Gadi workflow, the ARE VDI session needs to remain active and running for the entirety of the {{ model }} simulation. If the ARE VDI session expires before the end of the simulation, the simulation itself will be terminated as well.
