SIMULIA Tosca Structure control will add the following lines (in bold)
to the SMOOTH
command if missing:
SMOOTH
ID_NAME = <some_id_name>
...
DATABASE = "opt_res_database"
OUTPUT_FILE = TOSCA_POST/<smooth_id_name>.ext
END_
The modified SMOOTH
command is written to a file <jobname>_
smooth.par
located in the TOSCA_POST
subdirectory of the working directory. After the optimization, Tosca Structure.smooth is called by SIMULIA Tosca Structure control with this parameter file.
It is also possible to generate a Tosca Structure.smooth
result with different parameters. This is done by changing the parameters in
the parameter file (<jobname>.par
) and calling SIMULIA Tosca Structure as follows:
tosca post -j <jobname> --smooth
A new smooth file will be generated <jobname>_smooth(<n>).par
, where <n>
is a number starting at 1. Tosca Structure.smooth will be called with the modified parameters using the optimization
results from the last optimization.
Each time Tosca Structure.smooth is called a new post-file is created (<jobname>_
smooth(<n>).par
). To avoid this behavior use overwrite (--ow
):
tosca post -j <jobname> --smooth --ow
in which case the post-file (<jobname>_smooth.par
) is overwritten for each call.
