SimC Input Constraints

Simmit rejects profile directives that control filesystem access, network behavior, or compute resource allocation.

#Unsupported directives

Bash

# Output / file writes
output=
html=
json=
json2=
log=
save=
save_*
debug_seed=
debug_each=
spell_query_xml_output_file=

# Plot directives
dps_plot_*
reforge_plot_*

Thread and parallelism directives (threads=, profileset_work_threads=, profileset_init_threads=) are managed by Simmit.

Plot directives (dps_plot_*, reforge_plot_*) are currently unsupported. Contact us if your use case requires plot support.

#Conditionally allowed directives

Bash

armory=

This directive is only available when credentials.bnetClientId and credentials.bnetClientSecret are provided in the job request. See the API Reference for details.

Bash

input=<bundled-filename>
<bundled-filename>

Profile includes resolve only against the build's bundled profiles/ tree. A filename is accepted when it appears in profiles.manifest for the build that runs the job. Out-of-bundle paths are blocked. See Bundled Profiles for the manifest shape and usage.

#Precision safety bounds

Two precision directives have platform safety bounds. Values outside the bounds run at the bound, and the job submission response includes a warnings array describing each clamp or floor.

Directive	Safety bound	Behavior
`iterations=`	≤ 250,000	Values above 250,000 run at 250,000.
`target_error=`	≥ 0.01	Values below 0.01 run at 0.01.

Example response:

JSON

{
  "id": "0192…",
  "success": true,
  "runtime": { "ceiling": { "runtimeSeconds": 300, "queueSeconds": 1800 } },
  "warnings": [
    {
      "kind": "iterations_clamped",
      "line": 12,
      "requested": 500000,
      "applied": 250000,
      "message": "iterations=500000 exceeds the platform safety cap of 250000; using 250000."
    }
  ]
}

The warnings field is omitted when there are no warnings. Possible kind values: iterations_clamped, target_error_floored. Multi-actor inputs with the same directive set per actor produce one warning per offending line.

This list may evolve as the platform or SimulationCraft changes. If your workflow requires a currently restricted directive, get in touch.
