Solve a parametric multi-step scenario

Definition: reminder

A parametric multi-step scenario is used to solve a non-transient application within a parametric analysis.

A parametric multi-step scenario is a scenario that defines the control of parameters, i.e. the values of parameters for computation steps.

Solve

To solve a parametric multi-step scenario, follow the steps below:

Step Action
1 Create a parametric multi-step scenario
2 Activate the Solve command
3

Click on Solve solving scenario

and in the list choose the scenario defined in step 1

4 Click on OK
All the steps are solved.
Attention:
  • Going to next step (without software stop) if a convergence problem / a modeling error occurred

Scenario with not solved or incorrectly solved steps

At the end of the solving process there can be not solved steps (modeling error) or incorrectly solved steps (slow convergence) in the fully processed scenario.

It is then possible to resume the solving process of those steps as presented in the table below.

To “reprocess” … Then activate the Continue command …
one step which has not converged

Choose the option

Repeat on one step which has not converged and select the step in the table of incorrectly solved steps…

all the steps which have not converged

Choose the option

Repeat on the steps which have not converged …

To “reprocess” … Then …

a step not solved

(modeling error*)

reconsider the description of the problem
Note: * Most of the modeling errors are detected by means of the commands Check geometry/Check mesh and Check physics. Meanwhile, these verifications are carried out on the initial description of the project. If certain values become incorrect through time, then the process stops. The user must correct the error source.
