Using the Flow Optimization Assistant

You can use the optimization assistant to guide you through the sequence of operations for performing a flow optimization.

Before you begin: Create or open flow optimization. For more information, see Creating a Flow Optimization.
  1. In the Flow optimization assistant panel, select one of the following options:
    OptionDescription
    Model Specifies the fluid set and the volumes to optimize. See Creating a Fluid Set and Specifying Volumes to Optimize.
    Conditions Specifies the conditions. See Applying Conditions.
    Validation Configures the mesh of the fluid set used by the optimization. See Validating the Setup.
    Optimization Specifies the number of optimization steps and runs the flow optimization. See Defining Optimization Parameters and Running a Simulation.
    Concept Generates and validates the design. See Generating the Design.

    In the panel, a number identifies the mandatory options.
