SIMULIA Tosca Structure control adds 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 is generated <jobname>_smooth(<n>).par, where <n> is a number starting at 1. Tosca Structure.SMOOTH is 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.
