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:
- Enter the Stop Time, which is the value at which the solution will stop, and select the units.
-
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. - Also enter the Maximum Timestep to set the allowable range the adaptive process use to alter the timestep.
- Check Save Fields to enable saving the fields data.
