Setting Up and Running the Design Sweep Study

After running the simulation, you create a Design Manager project that runs a design sweep on the spoilers.

To set up a design study with replacement parts:
  1. Right-click the root node of the SpoilerReplacement_run simulation and select Create Design Manager Project.
    Save the Design Manager Project as SpoilerDesignSweep.dmprj.
  2. In the Design Manager project tree, right-click the Design Studies node and select New.
  3. Rename the Design Study to Spoilers Sweep.
  4. Select the Spoilers Sweep > Input Parameters node and click Edit Parameter .
  5. In the Input Parameters dialog, select PartReplacement and click OK.
    This action allows Design Manager to use the file global parameter you created previously.
  6. To add Spoiler2 and Spoiler3 to the design study:
    1. Select the Input Parameters > PartReplacement > Discrete node and click its Custom Editor () for Values.
    2. In the Open dialog, multi-select Spoiler2.x_b and Spoiler3.x_b, then click Open.


In this tutorial, you set the coefficient of lift and drag as responses so that you can monitor their values for each spoiler design.
  1. To add Responses to the design study:
    1. Select the Design Studies > Spoilers Sweep > Responses node and click the Custom Editor () for Responses.
    2. In the Responses dialog, select CD (coefficient of drag) and CL (coefficient of lift).
    3. Click OK.
  2. Select the data that you want to post-process:
    1. Select Design Studies > Spoilers Sweep > Scenes node and click the Custom Editor () for Scenes.
    2. In the Scenes dialog, select Vector Scene 1 and click OK.
  3. Select the Design Study > Settings > Run Settings node and deactivate Clear History.
  4. Save the Design Manager project.
  5. Right-click the Design Studies > Spoilers Sweep node and select Run Study.
    The Output Table window displays the properties of each design.
  6. To visualise the post-processing data of the case:
    1. In the Output Table window, right-click Design 1 and select Open Scenes > Vector Scene 1.

    You can follow this step to visualise Design 2 and Design 3. The following image shows Vector Scene 1 for Design 1:
