Flow Convergence - U Velocity dialog box (Flow/ESC/Multiphysics)
| Modeling Object | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets a meaningful name for the modeling object. |
| Label | Sets a unique numeric identifier for the modeling object. |
| Properties | |
| Description | Sets a description for the modeling object.Click Description to set the description in an editor box. |
| Stopping Criteria | |
| Criteria | Specifies the stopping criteria that the flow solver uses to determine if the U velocity converges over the selected region.Absolute DifferenceStops the analysis when the absolute difference of the average U velocity, between two consecutive iterations, is less than the value specified in the U Velocity box.Relative DifferenceStops the analysis when the relative difference of the average U velocity, between two consecutive iterations, is less than the value specified in the U Velocity (%) box.Upper LimitStops the analysis when the computed average U velocity is greater than the value specified in the U Velocity box.Lower LimitStops the analysis when the computed average U velocity is less than the value specified in the U Velocity box. |
| Averaging Method | |
| Method | Specifies the averaging method that the flow solver uses to compute a single value for the U velocity over the selected region. The flow solver uses this value to determine if the analysis is converged.Absolute Maximum ValueRetrieves the absolute maximum U velocity value over the selected region.Maximum ValueRetrieves the maximum U velocity value over the selected region.Absolute Minimum ValueRetrieves the absolute minimum U velocity value over the selected region.Minimum ValueRetrieves the minimum U velocity value over the selected region.Algebraic Average ValueComputes the algebraic average U velocity value over the selected region.Volumetric Average ValueComputes the volumetric average U velocity value over the selected region. |
| Magnitude | |
| U Velocity | Sets the target U velocity convergence value that the flow solver uses to stop the analysis when the computed U velocity reaches the specified target value.Note: When you choose Relative Difference as the stopping criteria, you set the target U velocity as a percentage value. |
