Exporting the System Coupling setup is the recommended method of making a Workbench-based case available for a System Coupling user-interface run. However, it is possible to request that a participant generates its solver input and .scp files on demand.
This process for generating on-demand files varies according to participant type (that is, whether the participant solver is CFX, Fluent, or Mechanical). For instructions on how to do this for a given participant, see Supported Coupling Participants for System Coupling in Workbench and follow the link to the participant's coupling-specific documentation.
Because you are not using the automated workflow described in Exporting the System Coupling Setup, you must perform all the export steps manually, as follows:
Create System Coupling's working directory, including sub-folders to serve as participant working directories, as described in Setting Up a Coupled Analysis Directory Structure.
On the Project Schematic, verify the following details:
The participants systems' Setup cells are connected to the System Coupling system's Setup cell.
The participant systems' setups are complete — that is, all cells upstream of the Solution cells should be in an Up-to-Date state (
).
In each coupling participant product, request the generation of solver input and .scp files, ensuring that the files are written to the participant's coupled analysis working directory.
Ensure that the paths to all required scripts and executables are added to the PATH environment variable so that participating applications can be launched from System Coupling GUI or CLI.
