22.1.2. Basic Settings for Steady-State Simulations and for Transient Blade Row Cases that use the Harmonic Balance Transient Method

22.1.2.1. Convergence Control: Min. Iterations

The minimum number of iterations the CFX-Solver will run.

22.1.2.2. Convergence Control: Max. Iterations

The maximum number of iterations the CFX-Solver will run.

For details, see Max. Iterations in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.

22.1.2.3. Convergence Control: Fluid Timescale Control

Sets the method of time scale control for a simulation. For details, see Time Scale Control in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.

For steady-state simulations, and for transient blade row simulations that use the Harmonic Balance transient method, the following options are available:

22.1.2.4. Convergence Control: Solid Timescale Control

For steady-state simulations, and for transient blade row simulations that use the Harmonic Balance transient method, two options are available if the simulation involves a solid domain, and/or a solid within a porous domain:

  • Auto Timescale

  • Physical Timescale

When Solid Timescale is set to Auto Timescale, the option Solid Timescale Factor is available. For details, see Solid Time Scale Control in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide.
