Get results while solving

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am doing a flow problem with turbulent flow thorugh a pipe. I would like to get results while solving, that is the velocity plot. I have checked the box in the study note to get results while solving and selected the velocity.SPF plot. Nothing is happening. Anyone with a trick or and idea?

Hi Line,

The default solver settings for a turbulent flow simulation is a segregated solver sequence. Enabling "Results While Solving" in "Step1: Stationary" will update the specified plot after computation of the whole solver sequence. If you are using the continuation feature the plot will be updated for each parameter value.

In order to update the plot after each execution of the segregated solver, you have to dig deeper into the solver configuration. "Study X"-> "Solver Configurations" -> "Solver X" -> "Stationary Solver X" -> "Segregated 1". Enabling the "Results While Solving" at this level, will update the plot after each execution of the segregated solver.

Best regards,
Morten
