How to define convergence criteria based on temperature?

      Hi,

      I'm conducting a transient simulation in Fluent and I need to stop the simulation when the minimum temperature of a certain body reaches a specified value.

      How can it be done?

      Thank you,

      Rashi

      I think there are ways in scheme or via UDF/expression to do this, but it's beyond what staff can cover on here as it's not documented. You may also be able to fool the convergence reports by using dummy variables based on expressions: the below panel works on a report CHANGE not it's value.


      The "easier" approach is to monitor the minimum temperature (use some caution when doing this) and manually stop the calculation.
