Batch Model Reduction

Reduce the amount of manual work involved in generating CMS superelements or CDS superelements for multiple modules by batch processing.

This dialog is invoked by clicking the icon.



From this dialog, select modules to include in the batch process, as well as options to be used in the reduced model generation for each module. Use the right-click context menu to show or hide the options.
# of grids

# modes (struct)
The number of structure modes for a module.
Freq. 1st
The starting normal mode frequency for a module.
Freq. last
The last normal mode frequency for a module.
Label
Define an eight character or less label for the module when superelements are used in a residual assembly run.
Status
Displays job status information.
CDS
Activate this checkbox to generate a CDS superelement.
CDS method
Generates a CDS superelement. SVDNP is supported.
TF
Activate this checkbox to keep transfer functions in the CDS superelement H3D file.
CMSOUT

Max freq.
The upper frequency of mode extraction.
No. of modes
The number of modes to be extracted.
SPOINT starting
The starting ID of the spoint.
Struct. damping
The global structure damping value used to generate the superelement. This can be blank if only the CMS superelement is requested. This field is grayed out if the damping is already included in the material cards.
Max. freq.
The upper frequency of fluid mode extraction.
No. of modes
The number of fluid modes to be extracted.
SPOINT starting
The starting ID of the fluid spoint.
GP_RC

The middle section of the dialog provides analysis job related sections including the Job folder and any optional User comments. The bottom section allows you to select global analysis parameters that will be used to setup all checkout runs.

Upon clicking Create job, all model checkout jobs are created, and the Job Submission dialog opens. This dialog contains options to submit the jobs or skip the job submission step.

From the Batch Model Reduction dialog, click Assign H3D to automatically assign CMS and CDS superelement files generated to the module as representations.
