Guest Mr. Olivier Duquette Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Hello, I have connected Vista TF (a throughflow solver from Ansys) to Caeses.This solver has it owns geometry format, and the geometry file as to be with the other input files.So with a feature definition I have created this file format for my geometry and save the geometry filein the good folder by using resolveenv("$RESULTSDIR") When I use the Runner from the software connector, everything is fine, but when I use a design enginefor optimization, for example the Sobol engine, I have a problem. The problem is that my feature definition is only run at the end for the last geometry and it is run afterVista TF has finished, so it doesn't find the geometry files for the first iterations (because it is not created)and neither for the last iterations (because it is created after). Is there a way to force the feature definition to run for each iteration? Thank you,Olivier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan Wunderlich 6 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Hi Oliver, I need to understand, how the export is triggered.Typically, the export should be triggered when the other input files are written. So there should be a connection to the software connector to make that happen. This can be a bit tricky when using a feature so we will come up with a simple solution in the next release. Could you attach your project file (even with stripped geometry, if it is somehow confidential)? Then I can take a look at it and come up with a suggestion of how to solve this.

Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 H Oliver,In case you are using a software connector to integrate Vista TF, you can add a preprocessing command inside the computation object. Expand the "Execution Setting" section and insert "featureThatExports.run()" in the square brackets. Then, before the external code is executed, the feature should be updated and export the geometry.
