Hi,

I'm studying an inviscid compressible flow that I tried to analyze with two different manners:

1. Creating a new Fluent Analysis for each case (12 velocities, from Mach 1 to Mach 3)
2. Using Design Points and defining input/output parameters and solving these 12 velocities.

When I compared both results with my reference values for drag coefficient (CD), the first case presents far better results than second one. Is there any explanation?

Thanks in advance!

What is the initial condition and convergence level for each case?

Usually convergence and startup related.
