To define how a CFX-Solver can be started, the number of settings that you need to set up for Execution Control depends on the case:
In some cases, you need to specify only the name of a CFX-Solver input file (
*.defor*.mdef). For cases that require initialization from previous results, you also need to specify the name of a results file (*.res).You can configure runs in serial or parallel:
Serial run is the default way of running a CFD case. During a serial run, all computation is done by a single process running on one processor.
Parallel run partitions the computation into more than one process and is done on more than one processor in a single machine (local parallel processing) or on more than one machine (distributed parallel processing). You also have the option of specifying how the computation is partitioned for a parallel run.
You can optionally select the system priority for the interpolator and solver computation as well as settings such as precision and memory allocation.
When you have finished defining how CFX-Solver will start, click or to save the settings.
Details of the above steps are described in the next section.
