In the present study, we have developed a new control system for application integration with the fault-tolerant API (FT-API). The system treats an application as a task which consists of one job and multiple file transfer. Firstly, each task designates a computer to submit a job using a scheduler associated to the job. Secondly, all files which are necessary to execute the job are gathered in the computer using FT-API for file transfer. Finally, the job is submitted using FT-API for job execution. If the computer is outage, the task designates a new computer, gathers necessary files and submits a new job. Each scheduler, file transfer and job condition can be flexibly defined in XML. This time, we applied the system to fluid-structure interaction analysis simulation. The result indicates that the system enables a user to easily execute multi-scale and multi-physics simulation using application integration.
