How to extract the response when using the 'Sweep' mode in the Setup run?

granzer_22210

I have inlet velocity as the design variable/parameter and have 5 different values of velocities. I want max surface temperature (of a particular surface) as the response. I am using the Acusolve solver. I used Sweep mode for the Setup run and it ran successfully for the 5 inlet velocities. But output file of which run should I use as response? 

For Nominal run there is just 1 run at the nominal value and the response is extracted from the output file of this run. But since I have 5 different runs and I want to map the output of each run to the correct inlet velocity. How should I do it?

PS: The first velocity has the corresponding surface temperature value tabled. The other 4 velocities are not extracting the respective surface teperatures.

I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but actually, the sweep nominal run is just to check your variables range for the nominal model, and verify if any error will occur in these different ranges.

 

What you're looking for, actually, is to perform a DOE.

You first need to run a regular nominal run (just a single run).

After that, configure your responses as the max temperature of your surface.

 

After having these in place, then you'll create a new approach, as DOE.

Under the DOE, you will define how many levels you want (5 in your case), and run the DOE, which will then, automatically extract your temperature values for your varying velocities.

 

There are a bunch of tutorials in the Help showing this process.
