When the data model state or simulation state is saved (using the Save or Save Snapshot operations or as part of a System Coupling setup exported from Workbench, analysis settings are written to a System Coupling Settings file. By default, the file is written to the SyC directory in the coupled analysis directory. When the state is saved using the Save() command, you can specify an alternate location by using the FilePath argument.
Important: The Settings file reflects the state of the data model at the time the coupled was saved. To ensure consistency between the contents of the Settings file and the setup used by the coupled analysis, Ansys recommends that you do not attempt to change participant settings by editing the .scp files manually.
If data model changes are introduced and the Save operation is repeated then the new Settings file replaces the previous one. Also, if an .scp file is reloaded to an existing analysis, then the setup details in the corresponding Settings file are overwritten.
