Output and post processing

The ACSI does not provide tools for post processing the combined outputs of each code. Users shall use Adams View, Mentat or EDEM to review results independently.

However, the combined results of Adams, Marc and EDEM can be visualized using 3rd party codes like CEI EnSight. Adams View includes a plugin to export the Adams model and results into EnSight format. EnSight can load Marc result files.

The Glue code creates a message file with extension *.g_msg showing basic co-simulation data and prompts to the user. The Adams run will create an additional message file with extension *.a_msg. Finally, the Marc run will also create and additional message file with extension *.m_msg. All three types of message files have the same root name as the configuration script. There is no equivalent output file for the EDEM data.

Other log files may be written by utilities used in the implementation.

Marc, Adams and the Glue code report the CPU time and Wall time spent in the co-simulation. Each code computes the CPU in a standard way; the CPU time is code/model dependent. The Wall time reported by each application is in general different. Many factors depend on the Wall time, for example, latency of the socket connections, delay in starting the applications, and so on.

EDEM models do not create additional message files.
