ANSYS, Inc. Release Notes
System Coupling is a new component system that allows you to perform fluid-structure (FSI) analyses using the FLUENT and Mechanical systems in Workbench. In this release, one- and two-way transfers between running solvers, also referred to as co-simulation, is supported.
System Coupling has the following main features:
A progressive workflow that standardizes and simplifies the setup and coordinated execution, interruption, restart and post-processing of coupled analyses
A workflow designed to minimize the effect on the setup and execution of the participating solvers (e.g. solver specific physics and capabilities like parallel processing are unaffected by System Coupling)
Comprehensive control over the coupled analysis, including transient and steady/static couplings, and multiple coupling iterations per coupling step
Comprehensive control over data transfers, including any number of force and displacement transfers on surface regions, and data transfer specific under-relaxation and convergence targets
Complete support for the execution of coupled analyses outside and independent of the Workbench environment
