Running the Simulation

Following the import and mapping operations in the previous section, you can proceed by running the simulation.

To make sure that the Temperature Point Monitor stopping criterion is reset, first perform a single iteration:
  1. From the menu, select Solution > Step.


  2. Run the simulation.
  3. When the simulation has finished running, save the simulation.
  4. Click (Stop Recording) to end recording and to write the macro to the file.
In the Temperature Point Plot, you can observe a “jump” in the temperature solution when the next set of temperature data from Abaqus was imported. This jump represents the exchange of solution data between the two codes. As the Abaqus solution converges with the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ solution, these jumps become smaller, until you can say that the solution is fully converged.
