I&#8217;m simulating a transient case of a vertical-axis-wind-turbine on my home computer, which has a Intel Xeon E3-1231 and 16gb RAM and ANSYS 19.1 (free student version) installed on a hard drive.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>While this setup is probalby not ideal, the simulation starts fast with multiple iterations solved per second, but with increasing number of iterations the simulation then slows down. Last time I checked (around 10000 iterations in total), one iteration took up to 10 seconds to solve. My best guess is an issue with the memory (maybe?) but the task-manager actually shows that plenty of RAM should be available.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>A work-around is stopping the simulation halfway through and restarting ANSYS,&nbsp;then it runs fast again. Sadly this is pretty time-consuming since FLUENT is, once the iterations slowed down, very &#8220;sensitive&#8221; to button-pressing i.e. freezes for a few seconds\/responds slowly to commands. I hope someone has a fix for my (sometimes) lazy Fluent <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoticon\" src=\"\/content\/images\/emoticons\/big-smile-emoticon-for-facebook.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Regards Jan&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-40758","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["12938"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2542"],"_bbp_subscription":["237511"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["40758"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27784"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","159753","180824"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["9"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["127896"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["127896"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-09-23 11:00:21"]},"test":"janm"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/40758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/40758\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
