Description process

Introduction

A time dependent study / parametric analysis unfolds in the same manner as a "classical" study.

Supplementary stages are inserted into the main ones, in the various modules: geometry building, meshing, physics, solving process, results post-processing.

Process (1)

Various definition stages of a time dependent study are presented in the table below.

It is a simplified summary of the description process, within which the time dependent studies have been separated (individualized). The most general case is a mixture of these various studies taken individually.

Stage Description
0 Automatic creation of parameter TIME
1 Definition of variable quantities in function of time
via TIME parameter via I/O parameter
  • direct use of parameter TIME
  • creation of an I/O parameter (formula or table) in function of time
  • use of this parameter
2

Creation of sensors*

(to evaluate the quantities on various supports, etc.)
3

Creation of a scenario to control the solving process

(definition of the I/O parameters variations)
4

Solving process

with the scenario prepared in stage 3
5

Results post-processing

of the scenario prepared in stage 3 (see § Results post-processing )
Note: * If the sensors have not been created before the solving process, they can be created and evaluated afterward within the post-processing context.

Process (2)

Various definition stages of a parametric analysis are presented in the table below.

It is a simplified summary of the description process, within which the geometric and physical parameterized analyses have been separated (individualized). The most general case is a mixture of these various studies taken individually .

Stage Description
1 Creation / use of I/O parameters
If … then …
parametric geometric study
parametric physical study
  • creation of a controllable I/O parameter
  • use of this parameter
2

Creation of sensors*

(to evaluate the quantities on various supports, etc.)
3

Creation of a scenario to control the solving process

(definition of the I/O parameters variations)
4

Solving process

with the scenario prepared in stage 3
5

Results post-processing

of the scenario prepared in stage 3 (see § Results post-processing )
Note: * If the sensors have not been created before the solving process, they can be created and evaluated afterward within the post-processing context.
