For details about using GT-SUITE with CFX, see Coupling CFX to an External Solver: GT-SUITE Coupling Simulations in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.
The Function details view for a GT-SUITE Turboshaft function has the following settings:
Option is set to
GT-SUITE Turboshaft
.GT-SUITE Name shows the name of the associated GT-SUITE turboshaft, as known in GT-SUITE. This name is often the same as the function name, but is different if the name of the GT-SUITE turboshaft contains characters that are not valid to use in function names.
GT-SUITE Model specifies the name of the GT-SUITE model that includes the associated GT-SUITE turboshaft.
This association was made when the GT-SUITE model was being set up for initialization, in the Initialize GT-SUITE Coupling dialog box, on the Function Names tab. On that tab, the column named "GT-SUITE Interface or Turboshaft Name" lists the GT-SUITE patches and turboshafts, while the column named "CFX Function Name" lists the names of the planned GT-SUITE Patch functions and GT-SUITE Turboshaft functions. For details, see Function Names Tab.
GT-SUITE Motion
The GT-SUITE Motion > Axis Definition settings in the function details view are the same as the Axis Definition settings in the Initialize GT-SUITE Coupling dialog box, on the Turboshaft Setup tab, which is described in Turboshaft Setup Tab.
GT-SUITE Torque
The GT-SUITE Torque settings in the function details view are the same as the Torque settings (excluding the Torque check box itself) in the Initialize GT-SUITE Coupling dialog box, on the Turboshaft Setup tab, which is described in Turboshaft Setup Tab.
Transfer Variables
A transfer variable is a variable that will be exchanged with GT-SUITE. You can select each listed transfer variable to see the name (Variable Name) and units (Variable Units) of the corresponding CFX variable.
You can access a transfer variable using the following CEL syntax:
<function name>.<transfer variable name>()
