<Analysis>

The <Analysis> element contains details used to define the coupled analysis. In this element, you can set the following:

<AnalysisType> (integer)

Defines the nature of the sequential steps used in coupling co-simulation participants.

Possible values:

  • 0: General

  • 1: Transient

<Initialization>

Defines the initial time for the coupled analysis.

<Option> (integer)

Possible values:

  • 0: Program Controlled

    System Coupling makes the most appropriate choice of an initial time value. (default value)

  • 1: Start Time

    System Coupling overrides the initial/start time for the analysis with the value specified as part of <Time>.

<Time> (double)

Available when Initialization <Option> is set to 1. Initial time for the coupled analysis.

<Duration>

Defines the duration of the coupled analysis.

<Option> (integer)

Possible values:

  • 0: Number of Steps

  • 1: End Time

<NumberOfSteps> (integer)

Available if no end-time requirements exist for co-simulation participants.

<Time> (double)

Final time of coupling analysis.

<Step>
MaximumIterations (integer)

Maximum number of coupling iterations allowed per coupling step.

<MinimumIterations> (integer)

Minimum number of coupling iterations allowed per coupling step.

<Size> (double)

Size of the coupling step when it is associated with a time (this is done for transient analyses, as size is measured in seconds).

<Option> (integer)

Possible values:

  • 1: Coupling step size. Used for transient analyses.

  • 0: Non-dimensional step size. Used for general analyses.

<Unit System>

Unit system used.
