Timestep Setup for Electric Transient Solutions

To set up a transient analysis, define the following parameters on the General tab of the Solve Setup window:

  1. Enter the Stop Time, which is the value at which the solution will stop, and select the units.
  2. Enter the Initial Timestep, which is the time step used to start the simulation and begin the adaptive process.

    Note: The solver calculates the initial time step based on relaxation time Tau=Eps/Sigma of each material and then compares the results with the initial time step defined by the user. The smaller value is used.
  3. Also enter the Maximum Timestep to set the allowable range the adaptive process use to alter the timestep.
  4. Check Save Fields to enable saving the fields data.
