Maybe this is a "wouldn't it be nice" comment -- but thought I'd ask anyway..
any way to "preview" results from timesteps that have been computed already?
Often find myself running long analysis (2+ hrs typically) .. sometimes only to find
I've mis-defined (or omitted!) a critical restraint. I've taken to stopping the simulation
after a few steps and checking the results to verify the study is configured
correctly.
And stopping these simulations is no easy task!
Thoughts?
(we also run CFDesign for .. well, CFD.. and it does a nice job of updating the screen
and making the results available upon completion of each iteration).
Hi Tony,
The only way I know of checking the progress of a study is to do exactly what it sounds like you are doing. If I am running an Iterative Solver analysis I will just stop it and save results to hopefully get a little better idea of how things are progressing.
