After you have set up your simulation, you are ready to process it. Processing is the step in which Freeflow calculates at each progressive time step how each individual SPH elements interacts with every other SPH elements and boundary it comes into contact with.
The time it takes for your simulation to complete will depend upon the complexity of the parameters you have set, and the number and type of the processors you have chosen. Based upon these characteristics, your simulation can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days to complete.
Important: You are only able to set and change setup parameters prior to processing your simulation, so ensure that your settings are correct before you begin processing.
While your simulation is processing, you might stop and restart the simulation several times before your simulation is complete. As the simulation is processing, you can see the progress in a 3D View window or visualize data collect in a plot or histogram.
