Download the Tutorial Input Files

Download and save the tutorial input files.

  1. Download the OscillatingPlateExport.zip archive.

  2. Extract the archive to a local directory.

The extracted OscillatingPlateExport directory will serve as System Coupling's co-simulation working directory. It contains the following input:

  • OscPlateExport.wbpz

    This is a Workbench project archive containing the pre-coupling Mechanical and CFX physics setups. Participant physics are set up only so far as to allow their individual solutions. As part of the tutorial, you will complete each participant's coupling setup to enable its inclusion in the coupled FSI analysis.

Upon export, System Coupling writes all coupling-related output to this directory, as follows:

  • When a coupling setup is exported from Workbench, it generates all the folders and files needed to run the co-simulation in the System Coupling GUI.

  • When the co-simulation is executed, it creates a SyC in the coupling working directory for its coupling-related output.
