Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit Abaqus/CFD
Benefits: When running a co-simulation between Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, and Abaqus/CFD, you can now submit jobs with a single command. With this procedure you can now readily submit co-simulation job pairs to batch queues, you no longer need to specify and ensure consistency of port numbers, and you have more flexibility in defining the distribution of CPUs between the co-simulation jobs.
Description: A co-simulation analysis executes two “child” analyses and directs the communication of the two processes. The co-simulation execution procedure allows you to specify comma-separated pairs of job parameters on a single command line to run the co-simulation and is an alternative to running the co-simulation using the Abaqus execution procedure. This co-simulation execution procedure is the recommended procedure for Abaqus/CFD to Abaqus/Standard or to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulation.
Three methods are available for allocating CPUs to child analysis jobs for parallel processing: specifying the number of CPUs for each job, distributing CPUs between analysis jobs, and distributing CPUs between analysis products.
