1.2.4. Text Output Window

The text output window is a monitor tab that lists simulation information and the progress of a solution, including information such as physical properties, boundary conditions, and various other parameters used or calculated in creating the model. The source of the displayed information is a CFX-Solver Output file. For details, see CFX-Solver Output File.

You can hide or show the Out File monitor tab from the CFX-Solver Manager Monitors Menu.
