Offered Solvers

The Solver paradigma page lists the available solvers. For a quick access to a solver, use the search field.

Depending on the selected output type the solver chain will have the following components:

ETK output
Input node (for example, Text Input, AMESim Input) > Script or Process node > ETK Output node (for example, ETK ABAQUS)
Text output
Input node (for example, Text Input, AMESim Input) > Script or Process node > Text Output node

Preferences

To change the page overview, expand the Preferences section.
