It would be great if the simulations run through both the Parametric Tool and Hone could take advantage of the new Tasks system to run in parallel. These two tools, even more that before, could take advantage of parallel simulation since there are often so many simulations that need to be run.

you can run multiple simulations in parallel (although not with the benefit of the Parallel Sim Manager Tasks interface to monitor progress)

from the guide

4.8.2 Configure Simulation and Optimisation Options
The user may now configure the following options relating to the simulation engine and optimisation
routine:
 Simulation Control: Specify the number of Apache simulations to run in parallel (more
simulation = more CPU cores and utilisation rate, and quicker convergence time). The
example shown in the figure below is using 4 CPU Cores.

Perfect, thanks!
