I was told once that there are internal goals that Flow Simulation uses to determine if a calculation has converged or not, and that these can't be controlled by the user.
While messing around with the API, I came across "Service Goals" and think these may be those internal goals that I was told about.
The following Service Goals were listed for a study:
dm/m
Calculate_inc time/NC_Fluid
Serv Press
Serv Temp
Serv Heatf
Serv Mflow
Serv MassFract0
Serv MassFract1
Serv MassFract2
Serv MassFract3
Serv MassFract4
Does anyone know if these are actually being used internally for convergence? If so, is there any point to defining Global Goals for Pressure and Temperature? What about volume fraction of each fluid component? If the mass fraction of each is already being monitored, it seems redundant.
i'd get with your reseller and have them check with the developers on this one.
if you wanted to test yourself, why not run a problem and compare those output the values and compare them?
my gut feeling is that these aren't them because I don't think that the values that are monitored are things like pressures and temperatures, i think they are calculation residuales and some other stuff. but i don't remember the details.
