Running the Simulation

To run the simulation, click on the  (Run) button in the top toolbar.

The Residuals display will be created automatically and will show the progress being made by the solver. If necessary, click on the Residuals tab to bring the Residuals plot into view. The tabs at the top of the Graphics window make it possible to select any one of the active displays for viewing. You may want to view the Pressure Drop Monitor Plot or the Mass Flow Rate Monitor Plot to observe the solution convergence rate.

During the run it is possible to stop the process by clicking on the  (Stop) button in the toolbar. If you do halt the simulation, it can be continued later by clicking on the  (Run) button. If left alone, the simulation will continue until it has completed 120 iterations.

The Residuals display at the end of the calculations should look as shown below.

Save the simulation after the run has finished.
