Generate Weights and Interpolation Diagnostic Files

The ability to generate mapping weight and interpolation diagnostic files is now available in the data model as beta functionality.

Note:  This functionality was previously available as the WriteDiagnosticsDictionary expert setting.

When beta features are activated, the OutputControl.WriteDiagnostics beta setting is available.

Possible values:

  • False (default value)

    Disabled. No diagnostic files will be generated.

  • True

    Enabled. Diagnostic files will be generated.

When diagnostics are enabled, System Coupling generates and exports the following .json output files:

Weights Diagnostics:

A single file is generated during the first iteration of the first step of the coupled analysis. Its contents are written both to the System Coupling command console and to a .json file in System Coupling's working directory. The file is named according to the following convention:

weightsDiagnostics_step1.json

This file contains weights diagnostics for the mapping process of the specified interface.

Interpolation Diagnostics:

A file is generated for every iteration in the coupled analysis. Their contents are written both to the System Coupling command console and to a .json file in System Coupling's working directory. The files are named according to the following convention:

interpolationDiagnostics_step<#>_iteration<#>.json

These files contain the interpolation diagnostics for the specified step.

Note:  When this setting is enabled, newly generated interpolation diagnostic files will replace any existing interpolation diagnostic files in System Coupling's working directory.
