ACC allows you to start a co-simulation run for two separate solvers. In the current
release, the two possible types of co-simulation are:
AcuSolve with OptiStruct
AcuSolve with MotionSolve
To activate co-simulation, select Co-Sim > FSI-AcuSolve. Figure 1.
The upper two fields represent the structural solver (OptiStruct or MotionSolve), while
the next two lines allow to select the input file for AcuSolve. The toggles in the next line (Use
SMP, Use MPI options) apply to the structural
solver only.
Note: The two icons in the lower left corner, represent the two selected
solvers.
Select Run to submit a job to the internal queue as if it was
a single solver run. It is possible to mix co-simulation runs with standard runs in
the queue. When the Compute Console initiates a run, the job automatically starts
two solver runs, as well as the required middleware (for a MotionSolve co-simulation run). When such a job runs, two
Solver View forms and two independent .log files are created. Both Solver View forms will show the options
Abort, Kill, and so on, and each
of them will control the corresponding single solver only.
