Where to find "Tips for obtaining convergence"-section?

hilde · April 9, 2015, 15:05

Dear all,
After more than a year of wondering, I will finally post a possibly obvious question:

In the Ansys FAQ, under "My steady state solution converges for a while but stops converging before reaching my convergence criteria" the suggestion given is to read the section "Tips for obtaining convergence" in the manual.

This sounds for obvious reasons super interesting, but where can this section be found? I cannot find it in the manual? (i.e the documentation- correct?)

Thank you anyone in advance!

It has been so long since I wrote that it appears the reference I was talking about has been renamed, and I have forgotten the section of the documentation I was referring to anyway

.

I think the section is now titled "Problems with convergence" and is in the modelling guide, section 15.10.6. In fact the whole section 15 is got lots of really good information about getting the most out of CFX.

Feel free to update the FAQ to the new reference so everybody can see it.

Thank you very much for the reply, and I have now (finally) edited the FAQ
