This node is for autoparametrization of FloEFD task files (*.xml). After selecting this file, the node provides all existing outputs as a table containing names and values. Each row can be added as a response or output slot using drag and drop.

Expected File Content

The standard output file content is shown in the following example:

<Project name = "External Optimizer 1" workpath = "C:\usr\Project\1\Parametric Study 2" version = "1" product_key = "NIKA\FloEFD FE16" >
<ProjectInputParameters>
<ProjectInputParameter index = "0" name = "Model\PartBody\Part1\CstEdgeRibbon.1\Radius" lowerbound = "0.005" upperbound = "0.1" />
<ProjectInputParameter index = "1" name = "Model\PartBody\EdgeFillet.2\CstEdgeRibbon.3\Radius" lowerbound = "0.001" upperbound = "0.008" />
<ProjectInputParameter index = "2" name = "Model\PartBody\EdgeFillet.3\CstEdgeRibbon.4\Radius" lowerbound = "0.001" upperbound = "0.02" />
<ProjectInputParameter index = "3" name = "Model\PartBody\Sketch.1\Offset" lowerbound = "0.03" upperbound = "0.1" />
</ProjectInputParameters>
<ProjectOutputParameters>
<ProjectOutputParameter index = "0" name = "Pressure drop" objective = "Minimize" weight = "1" />
<ProjectOutputParameter index = "1" name = "Inlet Velocity Gradient" objective = "Minimize" weight = "1" />
</ProjectOutputParameters>
</Project>

Extracted Information

For each supported output, the following information is extracted:

File Location

The necessary reference file must be exported using FloEFD by creating an external optimization task. For more information about this process see FloEFD Wizard.

Run Options

This node has general Run Options. The number of supported options is individual for each node.
