Interactive command that initializes a coupled analysis.
Initialization includes preparing System Coupling, making connections between System Coupling and all participants, starting participants (if necessary), and writing participant build information to the Transcript and Log.
For analyses with geometry transformations and/or instancing, the transformations and instances must be defined before running the Initialize() command.
This command will raise an exception if another instance of System Coupling is solving in the current working directory.
Note: If the ExecutionControl.Option for a participant is set to
ExternallyManaged, then
System Coupling will not start the participant using either this command or any of the
other commands that automatically start participants. You are expected to manually
start the participant. This function will not return until all participants have
been connected.
