Mapping

) study is a dedicated study to use when the Background Fluid Flow Coupling couples a Fluid Flow interface and an Aeroacoustics interface. The study should only solve for the multiphysics coupling. The study uses a Stationary solver. Together with the multiphysics coupling, the study handles the mapping of dependent variables between the fluid flow mesh and the acoustics mesh for consistent simulation results.

Physics and Variables Selection

Only select the Background Fluid Flow Coupling as being . No other physics will be solved by the mapping study.

Solution to Map

From the list select the study containing the coupled fluid flow interface to map. Depending on the type of study, used for the fluid flow simulation, you will get a different type of list to choose from: time steps or parameter values. From the list, select the appropriate solution or solutions to map. The option will automatically add a parameter sweep and map all parameter values from the selected solution. The study step will automatically ensure that those parameter values are used.

Note that the mapping does not benefit from running continuation for any parameter. When the solution is mapped for all parameter values, for a multiple parameter sweep where continuation was used in the fluid flow study, the resulting data set structure of the two studies will therefore be slightly different.

Mesh Selection

Select the target mesh of the mapping, that is, the acoustics mesh used for the aeroacoustics simulation.
