Add a custom solver parameter to a custom solver profile

  1. Create a folder to store the custom library, for example mylibrary.

  2. Create the dur\dursolverparam directory structure inside the mylibrary folder.

  3. Copy the dursolverparam_def.xml file from the [software_installation_path]\simulation\parameters\dur\dursolverparam directory to the mylibrary\user\dur\dursolverparam directory that you created.

  4. Modify the durdursolverparam_def.xml file to include at least one user-defined solver parameter definition.Each solver parameter definition must have a unique neutralName and a unique type.

  5. Choose FileUtilitiesCustomer Defaults.

  6. Choose GatewayParameter Library, and in the Location tab, from the Site and User Parameter Library Format list, select Directory of Parameter Library Files.

  7. In the User Parameter Library group, under Directory Name, set Windows to the mylibrary directory.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Restart Simcenter 3D.

  10. Create or open a specialist durability model.

  11. Make sure that the Simulation file is the work part and the displayed part, and choose Specialist Durability tab→Specialist Solution group→Solver Parameters .

  12. In the New Parameter group, from the Type list, select a user-defined solver parameter type, and click Create parameter .

  13. In the corresponding simulation object dialog box, define the desired properties. For more information, refer to Specialist Durability simulation object dialog boxes.

  14. Click OK.

  15. Click Close in the Solver Parameters dialog box.

  16. Choose Specialist Solution group→Solver Profile .

  17. Create a solver profile, or right-click the solver profile from which to create your custom solver profile, and select Copy.

  19. Click OK.

  20. Click Close in the Solver Profiles dialog box.
