MADYMO Coupling Manual Release 7.5
8 Example Startup Scripts
This section shows some examples to run coupling executables with LS-DYNA, MPP-DYNA,
PAM CRASH/SAFE and Radioss.
8.1 Direct coupling
In general, the direct coupling is started with the following command line:
madymocli -coupling direct <input.xml> -x /path/to/coupling_exe -arg <partner args>
where <input.xml> is the MADYMO input deck, /path/to/coupling_exe is the PARTNER
coupling executable and <partner args> are all arguments needed by this coupling executable.
The benefit of this approach is that MADYMO handles all environment variables that MADY-
MO needs to run in coupling, including adapting the run time library search path ($LIBPATH,
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH or $SHLIB_PATH, depending on the OS).
8.1.1 PAM CRASH/SAFE
#!/bin/sh
# example script to run MADYMO/PAM coupling
# use with options: input.xml input.pc #cpu
#
PAMEXE=/path/to/pam2006/psolid.x
# PAMLIB is usually a subdir of the dir where psolid.x resides
PAMLIB=/path/to/pam2006/lib
XML=$1
PC=$2
CPU=$3
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=${CPU}
export PAMLIC=CRASHSAF
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PAMLIB}
# assuming madymo75 is in the search path
madymo75 -coupling direct -nrproc ${CPU} -x ${PAMEXE} ${XML} -arg ${PC}
8.1.2 LS-DYNA
#!/bin/sh
# example script to run MADYMO/LSDYNA coupling
# use with options: <input.xml> <input.key>
XML=$1
K=$2
# lsdyna executable
LSEXE=/path/to/ls970.madymo75
# assuming madymo75 is in the search path
madymo75 -coupling direct $XML -x ${LSEXE} -arg y=madymo i="$K"
