The Solution Information object provides a summary of the solution time increments and progress is continuously updated in the solution output.

Histograms of time step, energy and momentum are also available for real time monitoring of solution progress.

You can monitor the quality of the solution by reviewing momentum and energy conservation graphs in the solution output. Low energy errors (<10% of initial energy) are indicative of good quality solutions.

From the Solve Process Settings dialog, set your analysis to solve in the background either locally or remotely. This allows you to retrieve results while the analysis is running to get immediate feedback on the progress and accuracy of the solution.
