Parametric analysis: principles

Introduction

This chapter deals with time dependent studies ( transient applications ) and/or parametric analyses and answers the following three questions:

  • What is a time dependent study, a parametric analysis?
  • How is a Flux problem described? (concepts of input/output parameter, sensor, solving process scenario and control of a solving process)
  • How are results analyzed with Flux? (curves, instantaneous values of input/output parameters, etc.)

Reading advice

Only theoretical aspects (principles) are treated in this chapter. For practical aspects (software implementation), see chapter Result post-processing: software aspects.
