Solution Process
There are two parts to the Radioss simulation, the Starter and Engine. The Starter is an input data check and must successfully complete without errors before the simulation can be completed in the Engine.
Starter and Engine
The Radioss Starter takes as input the model or commonly called Starter input file runname_0000.rad and creates the Starter output file runname_0000.out. The Radioss Starter is responsible for checking the model consistency and reporting any errors or warnings in the output file. If there are no errors in the model, the Radioss Starter creates initial restart file(s), runname_0000_CPU#.rst. There is one restart file created for each SPMD MPI domain requested for the solution.
