Under the root level of the data model, there are six main containers that control aspects of the coupled analysis:
- Library
Contains object containers and global objects that can be referenced elsewhere in the data model.
Each object container includes settings to define expression, expression function, or transformations.
- CouplingParticipant
Contains participant objects.
Each participant object includes settings for participant type, execution and update controls, regions, and variables.
- AnalysisControl
Contains settings that define the coupled analysis and control its behavior.
Includes settings for analysis type, partitioning for parallel runs, simultaneous participant updates, and stabilization.
- CouplingInterface
Contains interface objects.
Each interface object includes settings for mapping, interface sides, and data transfers.
- SolutionControl
Contains settings that define how solutions are executed.
Includes settings for solution duration, time step size, and number of coupling iterations per step.
- OutputControl
Contains settings that determine what coupled analysis output is produced.
Includes settings for output frequency.
For a comprehensive listing of all data model containers and settings, see the Data Model Settings section of the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference manual.
