Parametric CFD Study Acusolve 2019.1
I need help setting up this simple case in Acuconsole-Hyperstudy (Surface and volume mesh was constructed in Hypermesh). I have a simple rectangular duct containing a heat generating body in the middle of the duct. I am wondering of its possible to create the 'inlet-velocity' as a 'parameters' and give 5 different inlet velocity for a DOE study in HyperStudy. I want to study the effect of inlet velocity on Volumetric average temperate of the heated body, so I need response as the volumetric-average temperature. Also, can you provide some material to setup a simple DOE study with varying inlet velocity.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible..??

Hi @granzer
This is possible with coupling with HyperStudy.
Take a look at this post as it points you to the AcuSolve tutorials. The first one is related to a parametric study.
If you have the Help installed in your machine, access ACuSolve tutorials directly.

Hey, that was really insightful. But I want to run just a parametric study and not a parametric optimization study. So will I have to use the 'Parameter' in the 'Solver' browser tree of HM, to define the Inlet velocity as the 'Independent' Variable...and if this is the case where will I have to choose the surface-temperature/volumetric-temperature as the dependent/response variable?

Just perform a DOE, instead of Optimization, coupling HyperStudy with AcuSolve.
The steps are the same, except that the DOE will run known points/designs and evaluate their responses, giving the insights you need.

I did try that. I created a 'Parameter' called of type 'Discreet', and gave 5 different velocities. I assigned this parameter to the inlet boundary condition. When I start the hyperstudy from HM(selecting the response as temperature at the required surface) and tried a test run the solver ran till acuprep throws an error. There are no previous errors or warnings. I have attached the log file. Can you please help me with this?
PS: I used the tutorial mentioned in this to set up the parameter.

Ok I got it running...but I dont know how to define the response after the nomonal run. Which file should i choose to create the response?

acuGetRsp command should be helpful to get the response. Check all three tutorials in the Optimization part of the tutorial manual.

Check the second video on solver setup.
