Flux-Portunus co-simulation: about

Introduction

From 10.4 version, Flux has been offering a new coupling with Portunus, compatible with the new Flux 2D version, with Flux 3D and with Flux Skewed. This coupling is available for all the transient applications.

Implementation

The procedure for coupling Flux and Portunus is as follows:

Stage Software Description
1 Flux

Preparation of the Flux project:

  • Standard description: geometry, mesh and physics
  • specific description: creation of input and output parameters necessary to the coupling
2 Flux Generation of component of the Flux – Portunus coupling
3 Portunus Opening of Portunus
4 Portunus

Preparation of Portunus (*.ecd) model:

  • adding and definition of Flux – Portunus coupling library
  • adding, definition and connection of other necessary libraries around the coupling block
6 Portunus Configuration of the simulation parameters
7 Portunus Launching of the simulation
8 Flux / Portunus Post processing of results
