Feedback Iterator Interface Operations
When your project is ready to run, right-clicking on the Feedback Iterator component and selecting Single Iteration Update allows you to run a single iteration worth of updates. A Single Iteration Update operates as follows:
- The Electromagnetics product system (Maxwell, etc.) is updated, which will incorporate any previous feedback from the downstream system.
- The downstream system (Fluent, Thermal, etc.) is updated.
- All coupled systems (Electromagnetics product, Electromagnetics product Downstream and the Feedback Iterator) will then be in the UpToDate state.
- The Feedback Iterator's Iterations Completed property will increment by 1.
Right-clicking on the Feedback Iterator component and selecting Update allows you to run iterations automatically. Iterations continue to run either until convergence criteria are met, or until the Max Iterations value is reached.
Note: After getting temperature feedback from Fluent, Maxwell solving starts from the last adaptive, which means there is NO more adaptive pass solving. Consequently, instead of looking for the expression cache value in the adaptive solution, users should look for it in the last adaptive solution. For Last Adaptive, the expression cache value can be displayed from Results > Create Fields Report > Data Table.
