Create a Run

The Create Run dialog with a Map, Kinematic Setup and Assemblies selected

A Run combines Assemblies with an optional Map and Kinematic Setup. Each Attitude in the Run then needs its own CFD setup before it can be launched.

Before you start

  • Select a Programme and a Project in the header. The Run is created in that Project.
  • The Programme needs at least one Template Case. Until it has one, New Run is disabled.

Create the Run

  1. In the sidebar, under Simulation Admin, click Runs.
  2. Click New Run.
  3. Fill in Create Run:

    Field Required Notes
    Project Yes Defaults to the selected Project
    Title Yes Up to 100 characters
    Description No
    Baseline Run No Click Select Baseline to choose a Run to compare against. Bramble then generates delta values and delta postpro
    Kinematic Setup No Default parameters and coordinate systems
    Map No One Attitude per row. Without a Map, the Run has a single Attitude named after the Run
  4. Click Pick Assemblies. In Select Assemblies, filter by Programme and Assembly Folder, and move the Assemblies you want from Available Assemblies to Selected Assemblies.

  5. Click Create Run.

Warning

Bramble lets you create a Run with no Assemblies, but it can't be launched ("This Run has no parts attached").

Set up each Attitude's CFD

  1. Open the Run and go to the CFD Setup tab.
  2. Click the pencil icon at the top of an Attitude's column.
  3. In CFD Attitude Setup, choose:
    • Methodology: the solver and version, e.g. v1806F.
    • Workflow: the solve type, e.g. TSFoam RANS 1806F or TSFoam DES 1806F.
    • Template Case: any Template Case in the Programme. Pick one that suits the methodology.
    • Optional settings, depending on the methodology and workflow, such as the HPC Queue when more than one is available, half-car to full-car conversion, or underfloor geometry.
  4. Click Save, or choose Save to All from the Save menu to apply the same setup to every Attitude.

Optionally, use the Run Checks tab to choose each Attitude's pre-checks, and the PostPro Setup tab to choose the images and movies to generate.

Next: Launch and monitor a Run
