The Maximum Physical Time stopping criterion is based on the simulation time that has elapsed in a transient analysis. The node of this criterion has its own properties, and is added automatically by both the implicit unsteady model and the explicit unsteady model.
When used with the implicit unsteady model, this stopping criterion is linked to the Time-Step property of the Implicit Unsteady node in the Solvers node. If the Time-Step property is set to 1 second, and this (Maximum Physical Time) property is set to 10 seconds, then the simulation will run for 10 time-steps.
The maximum time can be set by clicking on the Maximum Physical Time node and modifying the Max Physical Time property in the Properties window.
