Changing maximal iterations per time step

      Hi,


      I want to change the max.iterations/time during the simulation. Is very any TUI-Command or UDF in order to do that?


      I have found something about "solve/.." with "max-iterations-per-time-step" but I don´t know if it's usable in this case.


      Regards,


      Maxime

      TUI commands can do it, and if you can set max iterations as a parameter then it may be possible to use a UDF.  Given the trick is to converge each time step you may be better looking into why you're hitting the limit.

      Try to converge every time step and set update interval to more than 3 to have at least 3 iterations per time steps.

      I would like to change the max. iterations/time step from a certain flow time.

      Then use the solution steering tools: set the TUI command to trigger at a certain time step.

      Thank you for the answer. 


      Could you give me an indication for the TUI-Command that I have to use? I have just found "solve/set/time-step" for changing the time step size but not the maximum iterations per time step.
