Chapter 15: HPC-Based Parametric Study ​

Tutorial Problem ​

10,000 Simulation Campaign

Purpose ​

This tutorial teaches users how to perform the 10,000 Simulation Campaign simulation workflow in ESD. It focuses on practical setup, solver execution, result review, and engineering interpretation.

Objectives ​

  • Understand the setup requirements for 10,000 Simulation Campaign.
  • Perform the complete simulation workflow in ESD.
  • Review and interpret the main engineering results.
  • Export the required deliverables.

Prerequisites ​

  • Access to the required model or mesh file
  • Basic familiarity with the ESD simulation interface
  • Required material properties and loading information
  • Understanding of the relevant analysis type

Workflow ​

  1. Configure the HPC environment.
  2. Distribute jobs across available resources.
  3. Monitor compute resource usage.
  4. Aggregate results from completed jobs.
  5. Generate performance statistics.

Expected Outcome ​

The user performs a large-scale simulation campaign and summarizes computational performance.

Deliverables ​

  • HPC execution report
  • Performance statistics

Validation or Engineering Check ​

Where applicable, compare the numerical result with an analytical solution, expected engineering trend, reaction balance, or benchmark result. Record the comparison in the final report or result table.

Notes and Common Mistakes ​

  • Confirm that units are consistent throughout the setup.
  • Check that all required groups are assigned correctly.
  • Review boundary conditions before running the solver.
  • Inspect result contours carefully before drawing conclusions.
  • Save exported plots, tables, and reports using clear file names.
