Use the RADIOSS panel to execute a RADIOSS run on your desktop from Engineering Solutions. The RADIOSS panel is available for both the RADIOSS and OptiStruct user profiles.
Subpanels and Inputs
There are two subpanels on the RADIOSS panel; however, they cannot both be accessed in any single user profile. To change subpanels, you must change the user profile.
Panel Inputs
Input
|
Action
|
input file:
|
Type in the file path of the desired input file.
|
export options
|
One of the following export options should be selected before you execute a RADIOSS run:
| • | all: Export everything to the input file |
| • | displayed: Export only what is displayed to the input file |
| • | custom: Export what is selected in the Entity State browser |
|
run options
|
One of the following run options should be selected when you execute an RADIOSS run:
| • | none: Solves the model as-is. |
| • | analysis: Starts an analysis regardless of what is specified in the model. |
| • | check: Starts a check run regardless of what is specified in the model. |
|
memory options
|
The memory setting specifies the memory limit, and the decision whether or not to run an in-core or out-of-core solution depends on this setting. The memory default can be changed by using the system setting (SYSSETTING) option OS_RAM. You can assign a different memory limit for an individual run by entering a value for memory in Mb= or by defining the -len option in the run script. For further details, see Running OptiStruct in the OptiStruct online help.

include connectors
|
This checkbox determines whether the output file will include predefined connectors.
|
options:
|
The option text field allows you to write any additional options to the solver. There is also check box to include connectors in the exported input file.
|
Command Buttons
The following buttons exist on the RADIOSS panel for the OptiStruct user profile:
Button
|
Action
|
Save as …
|
Choose the run location and provide the filename for the OptiStruct input file.
|
Radioss
|
Automatically perform the following procedures:
| • | Export an OptiStruct input file (using the location and filename as defined in the input file: field) for the model according to the selected export option (all, displayed, or custom) |
| • | Execute the solver with the specified run option (none, analysis or check) and memory option (default or user-defined upper bound). |
| • | Load the resulting .res file for post-processing in Engineering Solutions. |
|
HyperView
|
Launch a new session of HyperView and load the resulting .mvw file from the OptiStruct run. (Specifically this loads the .mvw file corresponding to the file name in the input file: field.)
|
view .out
|
Allows you to quickly view the .out file after a run has been submitted.
|
The screen output is automatically set to SCREEN, OUT. This displays the OptiStruct output to the DOS and UNIX window, respectively.

run number
|
This option only displays when run options is set to analysis.
Either leave the toggle set to 1 run, or toggle it to display a numeric box that allows you to specify the number of runs.

|
Launch the engine file editor. Please see Engine File Tool documentation in the OptiStruct solver interface online help.
|
return
|
Exit the panel.
