Optimize time of simulation

Rafael Antônio Coelho

Hi!

I'm simulating a grounding system with AC/DC model of COMSOL v4.3 and having trouble with simulation time.

I use more than 100 probes and constant time step. In the initial micro seconds the simulation time is about 1us per hour, but when the simulation reaches 10us each 1us takes about 10hours.

In the output I need only results of 3 probes, and the other probes are used just for simulation progress but not for post processing. I think the problem with simulation time is that when the simulation reaches more time there are many unnecessary data stored that slows the process.

How can I speed up my simulation? Is it normal to increase time simulation of each time step even with constant time step?
