Preparation

1.   Download parallel_process.zip from the User Services Center to your working folder (as described in Tutorial  1).

2.   Unzip parallel_process.zip.

  The case file elbow3.cas.gz can be found in the parallel_process folder created after unzipping the file.

  You can partition the mesh before or after you set up the problem (define models, boundary conditions, etc.). It is best to partition after the problem is set up, since partitioning has some model dependencies (e.g., sliding-mesh and shell-conduction encapsulation). Since you have already followed the procedure for setting up the mixing elbow in Tutorial 1, elbow3.cas.gz is provided to save you the effort of redefining the models and boundary conditions.
