Open

Opens Select working directory dialog, which allows you to open a new working directory in the current GUI instance. By default, if multiple restart points exist, then System Coupling opens the analysis at the most recent one.

Use the dialog to browse to and select the working directory to be opened.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see Open() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

Open at step

Enabled when a Settings file and at least one Restart file exist in the SyC subdirectory of System Coupling's working directory.

After selecting this option, select the step where you want to open the co-simulation. System Coupling opens the analysis at the specified step.

For more information, see Restarting a Coupled Analysis.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see Open() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

Open at iteration

Enabled when a Settings file and at least one Restart file exist in the SyC subdirectory of System Coupling's working directory.

After selecting this option, select the iteration where you want to open the co-simulation. System Coupling opens the analysis at the specified iteration.

For more information, see Restarting a Coupled Analysis.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see Open() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

Open snapshot

Enabled when at least one snapshot exists in the SyCSnapshots directory. Opens an existing snapshot containing a previously saved state for the current co-simulation.

After selecting this option, use the dialog that opens to select the snapshot you want to open the co-simulation. System Coupling locates the corresponding restart archive(s) from the SyCSnapshots subdirectory of its working directory.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see OpenSnapshot() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

For more information, see Working with Coupled Analysis Snapshots.

Save

System Coupling saves a Settings file and a Restart file to the SyC subdirectory of its current working directory:

For more information, see Saving a Coupled Analysis.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see Save() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

Save snapshot

Saves a snapshot of the current state of the coupled analysis.

After selecting this option, specify the snapshot name in dialog that opens. System Coupling saves the snapshot to an archive file in the SyCSnapshots subdirectory of the working directory.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see SaveSnapshot() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

For more information, see Working with Coupled Analysis Snapshots.

Load SCI file

Loads the specified System Coupling Input (.sci) file and pushes its information to the data model.

For details on the command corresponding to this operation, see ImportSystemCouplingInputFile() in the System Coupling Settings and Commands Reference documentation.

Run script

Runs the specified Python script in System Coupling's Command Console tab.

After selecting this option, navigate to and select the script to be run.

Start journalling

Enables engine command journalling.

After selecting this option, specify path for the file to which a log of engine commands will be written as the commands are executed.

Stop journalling

Exit

Exits the co-simulation, ending the coupling run and signaling participants to end the run.

This produces a clean shutdown, generating the final restart point before System Coupling disconnects from participants.
