Tip: For By Assemblies, By Parts, and By Metadata, use comma
separated lists to provide multiple values.
Use the Active checkboxes to select which groups you want to use.
These groups are referenced in the rest of the template categories for
selection.
These groups are dynamic; they are evaluated while a specific instance of a
category is being evaluated.
Define template instances.
Click one of the setup options beneath Template Categories.
Click to add a new instance.
When there are multiple types of instances in a category – like Inlet,
Outlet, Wall – you can activate multiple instances at a time to create
them all in one go.
For boundaries and mesh controls, assign a name.
Define the instance and select the group it will act on. Click to edit
parameters.
Tip: For the Operation category, the group selection can be
either the groups defined in the template manager or pre-defined
groupings of geometry.
Use the Active checkboxes to select which instances you want to use.
Inactive instances will not be evaluated.
Select the processes to be executed in sequence.
Delete existing setup
If on, the existing setup will be removed.
Run operations
If on, it will run the active instances defined in the Operation
category.
Validation
If on, geometry validation will be performed after running
operations or before performing setup, meshing, or solver run.
Click to change the sliver
surface threshold used for validating sliver surfaces and sliver
solids.
If there are errors, they are highlighted with an exclamation icon.
On clicking the icon, you can see a list of errors and update
operations accordingly.
Simulation set up
If on, the process will check geometry validity and perform
evaluation of active template instances.
If geometry is not valid, it will terminate the process and update
the geometry validation flag.
Perform meshing
If on, and the model is valid, the meshing job will be
submitted.
Click to define batch mesh
settings.
If geometry is not valid, it will terminate the process and update
the geometry validation flag.
Submit solver run
If on, the process will check for model validity and the presence of
volume mesh then submit the solver job.
Click to define AcuSolve launch settings.
If volume mesh is not present, the solver job will not be
submitted.
Click Run.

Select items to the create group from.
Click Apply.
A group is created per selection in the Advanced
Create dialog with the same name as the
selection.
Create boundaries
Click the Boundaries tab in the Template
Manager.
Click .
In the dialog, select the boundary condition type.
Select the group entity type: Solid | Surfaces.
Select available groups from the list.
Click Apply.
Boundaries are created per group selected in the
Advanced Create dialog with the same name as
the group.
Create mesh controls
Click the Boundaries tab in the Template
Manager.
Click .
In the dialog, select the mesh control type.
Select the group entity type: Solid | Surfaces.
Select available groups from the list.
Click Apply.
Mesh controls are created per group selected in the
Advanced Create dialog with the same name as
the group.
