Results (singleton)

Settings defined under the Results singleton control the output of postprocessing results. This is hidden when all participants are FMUs or when all participants do not define regions.

Note:  Settings for changing the output format of EnSight results are available as beta functionality. For more information, see Specify the File Format of EnSight Postprocessing Output in the System Coupling Beta Features documentation.

Tip:  Shown in the GUI as the Output Control | Results branch.

Results contents:

 

*Option (setting)

Specifies whether and when results files are generated.

Possible values depend on whether the analysis is step-based or iteration-based, as follows:

Options available for all analyses:

  • ProgramControlled (default value)

    System Coupling generates postprocessing results at the same frequency as restart points, as defined by the OutputControl.Option setting. If no restart frequency is defined, then results are generated at the end of the last coupling step.

  • Off

    Generation of postprocessing results is disabled.

Options available for step-based analyses:

Note:  Step-based analyses are transient analyses or steady-state analyses that include one or more participants of type AEDT, CFX, MAPDL, or EXTERNALDATA.

  • LastStep (default value)

    System Coupling generates results only for the last coupling step completed.

  • EveryStep

    System Coupling generates results at the end of every coupling step.

  • StepInterval

    System Coupling generates results at the end of coupling steps at the interval specified by the OutputFrequency setting.

Options available for iteration-based analyses:

Note:  Iteration-based analyses are steady-state analyses that do not include any participants of type AEDT, CFX, MAPDL, or EXTERNALDATA.

  • LastIteration (default value)

    System Coupling generates results only for the last coupling iteration completed.

  • EveryIteration

    System Coupling generates results at the end of every coupling iteration.

  • IterationInterval

    System Coupling generates results at the end of coupling iteration at the interval specified by the OutputFrequency setting.

For more information on step-based versus iteration-based analyses, see System Coupling Analysis Types in the System Coupling User's Guide.

Tip:  Shown in the GUI as the Output Control | Results | Option setting.

 

*OutputFrequency (setting)

Available when OutputControl.Results.Option is set to StepInterval or IterationInterval.

Specifies the frequency with which results are generated.

For example, with a value of 2, System Coupling generates a restart point at the end of every other coupling step or coupling iteration.

Accepts integer values greater than or equal to 1. Default value is 1.

Note:  Settings for changing the output format of EnSight results are available as beta functionality. For more information, see Specify the File Format of EnSight Postprocessing Output in the System Coupling Beta Features documentation.

Tip:  Shown in the GUI as the Output Control | Results | Output Frequency setting.

 

Type (singleton)

Settings defined under the Type singleton control the type of output to be generated.

Tip:  Shown in the GUI as the Output Control | Results | Type branch.

Type contents:

 
Option (setting)

Specifies the type of output to be generated.

Currently, EnsightGold is the only available option.

Note:  Settings for changing the output format of EnSight results are available as beta functionality. For more information, see Specify the File Format of EnSight Postprocessing Output in the System Coupling Beta Features documentation.
