The data import/export context in a few words

Definition

The data import/export context allows making a weak coupling (one shot import or export) with other physical application software. It gives access to three kinds of contexts:
  • Context dedicated to mechanical coupling
  • Context dedicated to thermal coupling
  • Generic context

Context dedicated to mechanical coupling

The Context dedicated to mechanical coupling allows performing NVH and vibroacoustics coupling with structural analysis software such as Altair OptiStruct.

Context dedicated to thermal coupling

The Context dedicated to thermal coupling, as well as the mechanical coupling context, is dedicated to the coupling with a third party software of thermal application, Altair AcuSolve software for instance. It allows especially to export Joule losses.

It is a weak coupling. To make a strong magneto-thermal coupling, please refer to the "Dedicated coupling / Magneto-thermal coupling" part presenting the Co-simulation tool available in Multiphysics context.

Generic context

The generic context is addressed to more advanced users.

It contains all the possibilities of the two dedicated contexts presented previously and has the possibility to export any physical quantity which can be computed by Flux.

Access

The data import/export context is available from a Flux project of any physical application and any dimension, before or after solving.

Note: In a Skew application, the context should be used carefully. Especially user should use it only after solving the Skew project.
