Setting Solver Parameters and Stopping Criteria

As you are solving an unsteady problem, it is necessary to specify the time-step size and the elapsed simulation time. Run this calculation for 5.0 s with a time-step size of 0.005 s.

To set the solver parameters and stopping criteria:

  1. Edit the Solvers node and set the following property:
    Node Property Setting
    Implicit Unsteady Time-Step 0.005 s
  2. Edit the Stopping Criteria node and set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Maximum Physical Time Enabled Activated
    Maximum Physical Time 5.0 s
    Maximum Steps Enabled Deactivate
    Maximum Inner Iterations Maximum Inner Iterations 5
  3. Save the simulation.
