Solution dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Thermal)

General page

Foreground Run
Run Job in Foreground	Runs the Samcef job run in the foreground.
User-Defined Text
Prolog****Epilog	Specifies the User Defined Text to prepend (Prolog) or append (Epilog) to the solver input file. For more information, see Customizing a Simcenter Samcef input file with user defined text.

Analysis page

Temperature
Default Reference Temperature (TREF)	Specifies the reference temperature used to compute thermal strains. For more information, see Reference and Initial Temperatures in Samcef (Simcenter Samcef).
Time
Maximum number of trials (.ALGO NFIR)	Specifies the maximum number of trials to compute the first timestep. For more information, see the NFIR parameter of the Samcef .ALGO command.
Initial Parameters
Initial Static Computation (.ALGO IREF)	Forces the Samcef nonlinear solver to compute the initial steady-state configuration of the structure.For more information, see the IREF parameter of the Samcef .ALGO command.
Conductivity Matrix Check and Singular Mode Computation (.ALGO KINI)	Performs a check of the model. For mechanism analyses, this analysis is useful to find the kinematic modes. This is not a static computation, and no external forces are taken into account. For more information, see the KINI parameter of the Samcef .ALGO command.

Solver Parameters page

Solver Type
Solver (.ALGO RESO)	Specifies the solver.SkylineSelect the Skyline solver. Suitable for problems smaller than 5000 degrees of freedom. **Sparse (BCSLIB)**Select the Sparse solver. Suitable for problems greater than 5000 degrees of freedom. Sparse (MUMPS)Select the MUMPS solver. Suitable in parallel modeAutoLets Samcef chooses the best solver to run.For more information, see the RESO parameter of the Samcef .ALGO command.
(Non)-Symmetric Solver (.ALGO INLY)	Specifies the non-symmetric solver solver.AutomaticAccording to the model data, Samcef chooses the best option.SymmetricSelect the symmetric solver. Non-SymmetricSelect the non-symmetric solver.Note: The non-symmetric solver is more computationally expensive because it doubles the number of arithmetic operations. It allows convergence in some intricate cases. For more information, see the INLY parameter of the Samcef .ALGO command.

Output page

Mesh Output	Specifies structural output requests.
Nodal Time History Output	Specifies nodal based time history graphs requests.
Element Time History Output	Specifies element based time history graphs requests.

User page

User Parameters
User Parameters for .ALGO	Lets you specify user parameters for the .ALGO Samcef command.
User Parameters for .SAM	Lets you specify user parameters for the .SAM Samcef command.
User Parameters for .GEL	Lets you specify user parameters for the .GEL Samcef command.

Note:

The added texts must be compliant with the Samcef Command Language terminology. For more information, see the Samcef documentation.
