      These values can be activated by the following TUI command: /solve/set/expert One option listed here is: “Save cell residuals for post-processing? [no]” This option has to be set to “yes” or “y”. Afterwards you have to do one dummy iteration so that the specific data fields are created. Now the residuals of all solved equations can be accessed and postprocessed within Fluent, see Screenshot1. They can also be used for convergence monitors. If you want to store the residuals in your data file, you have to adjust the data file quantities (File > Data File Quantities) see Screenshot2.
