Solution dialog box (Multiphysics)

Solution
Name	Specifies the name of the solution.
Solver	Specifies the solver for the solution.
Analysis Type	Specifies the analysis:StructuralRuns a structural analysis using the Simcenter Nastran SOL 401 multistep nonlinear solver.ThermalRuns a thermal analysis using the Simcenter 3D Thermal solver.FlowRuns a CFD analysis using the Simcenter 3D Flow solver.Coupled Thermal-StructuralRuns a two-way coupled analysis using the structural and thermal solvers; the thermal solution affects the structural solution and the structural solution affects the thermal solution.Coupled Flow-StructuralRuns a one-way coupled analysis using the structural and flow solvers; the flow solution affects the structural solution by passing flow pressures at walls.Coupled Thermal-FlowRuns a coupled analysis using the thermal and flow solvers.Coupled Thermal-Flow-StructuralRuns a coupled analysis using the thermal, flow, and structural solvers; the thermal-flow solution affects the structural solution and the structural solution affects the thermal-flow solution.MappingLets you map temperatures from the Thermal solution to a Simcenter Nastran structural solution.
2D Solid Option	Not available for the Flow analysis.Identifies the plane on which you can create axisymmetric elements. Also identifies the axis of rotation for axisymmetric elements.The solution uses the 2D Solid Option value that was set for the associated FEM file. You cannot modify this value.Note: For coupled analyses with the flow solver, only 2D Solid Option set to None is supported.
Solution Type	Specifies the solution type.
Transient Integration Options
These options are available only when:The Simulation includes a defined condition sequence.You select New Solution from Condition Sequence.You choose a transient or advanced nonlinear solution type.Transient Integration Options define how condition sequence time history information is translated into time-dependent boundary conditions and time-step settings.
Option	Specifies the integration method:Step sizeIntegrates time history data based on the specified step duration in seconds, minutes, or hours.Number of time stepsIntegrates time history data based on the total number of time steps in the condition sequence.
Step size	Specifies the duration of a single time step.
Number of steps	Specifies the total number of time steps in the transient solution.
