We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

How to improve convergence of scalar equations like the electric potential E-Pot?

    • FAQFAQ
      Participant

      Especially in complex cases with many domains and GGI interfaces the convergence of scalar equations (i.e. E-Pot for electric potential) can become slow, resulting in a large number of iterations to obtain a steady state result of the scalar. The following Expert Parameters will ensure a tighter convergence in the linear solver and thus result in reduced iterations for steady state results of scalar. Either use solver target reduction scalar = 0.0005 or mg small grid = 50 solver target reduction scalar = 0.01
