Manually Setting the Scaling of Variables

Solution numéro: 1240 Versions: Toutes les versions

The default behavior of the software is to assume a different scaling for each set of variables in your model. These scale factors are by default automatically determined, but sometimes may need to be manually tuned. ...

Manually setup the geometric multigrid solver

Solution numéro: 1213 Versions: Toutes les versions

The geometric multigrid solver accelerates the convergence of the iterative solver by solving the finite element problem on a series of meshes rather than a single one. The multigrid algorithm starts with the initial ...

Solving time dependent models with inconsistent initial values

Solution numéro: 1172 Versions: Toutes les versions

A common mistake when setting up transient models is to have initial conditions that are inconsistent with the loads and boundary conditions. This occurs most often when running transient fluid flow studies, but the ...

Improving Convergence of Nonlinear Stationary Models

Solution numéro: 103 Versions: Toutes les versions

Stationary (time-invariant) models with nonlinearities may converge very slowly. A nonlinearity can be introduced into the model either in the governing equation, or by making any of the material properties, loads, or ...
