Connect the systems on the Project Schematic via their Setup cells, as shown in Figure 30: Connecting a System Coupling component system with other types of systems.
Most participant systems with Setup cell connections act as co-simulation participants. The exception to this is the External Data system. Although a connection originates from its Setup cell, the External Data system acts as a static participant.
The execution of analyses involving couplings between any of these participants is managed by System Coupling. For details, see Coupled Analysis Management.
Once a participant system is connected to the System Coupling system, updates of the participant's Solution cell are disabled. All solution updates (and the execution of the respective solvers) are started automatically when System Coupling's Solution cell is updated. Note, however, that these updates respect all settings (for example parallel, precision, and so on) already made for them.
Note: For remote execution of a co-simulation created in Workbench, the recommended workflow is to export the coupling setup from Workbench and then run the co-simulation in System Coupling's GUI or CLI, using System Coupling's parallel processing capabilities to submit jobs for remote execution.
To continue using previous functionality, you may use one of the workflows described in Submitting System Coupling Jobs to Remote Solve Manager in the Workbench User's Guide.
