System Coupling Contexts: GUI, CLI, and Workbench

You can run System Coupling in the following contexts:

System Coupling's User Interfaces:
  • System Coupling's Graphical User Interface (GUI)

    Set up and execute coupled simulations using the System Coupling GUI. A robust API provides access to System Coupling's infrastructure and functionality, enabling you to create and solve multiphysics simulations involving the transfer of surface and volume data between coupling participants.

  • System Coupling's Command-Line Interface (CLI)

    Set up and execute coupled simulations using the System Coupling CLI. System Coupling offers the same capabilities when run from its CLI as it does when run from its GUI.

For more information, see Using System Coupling's User Interfaces.

System Coupling in Workbench

Workbench's System Coupling component system is an easy-to-use, all-purpose infrastructure that enables you to build and run simulations involving the transfer of surface data between coupling participants.

  • Setup

    Use the Workbench interface and workflow to create coupled analyses. Coupled analyses that were set up in Workbench can either be run in Workbench or exported for execution in System Coupling's GUI or CLI.

  • Execution

    Use the Workbench interface and workflow to run coupled analyses that were set up in Workbench.
