System Coupling's data transfer process can be divided into two components, each of which executes its own set of algorithms:
- Mapping
Mapping is the process of using data on a source mesh to calculate data on a target mesh. System Coupling uses various mapping algorithms perform the following tasks:
Associate source and target locations
Generate data for target locations
- Supplemental Processing
Supplemental processing may be applied to data before and/or after mapping. System Coupling uses various supplemental processing algorithms to perform the following tasks:
Reconstruct data on mesh locations
Apply ramping and under-relaxation factors
Apply unit conversions as needed
Apply Quasi-Newton stabilization
