UDF for varying max iterations for time step

jayemes · May 19, 2015, 16:38

Hi everybody!
What i want to do is to use a greater number of iterations in the first time steps and fewer afterwards.
Is it possible using UDFs?
Or should I do it manually?

Thanks.

Juan

Changing the number of iterations per time step is possible with a Scheme file which can be run at each (or every so often) iteration or time step using Calculation Activities. Include an if statement to set how many iterations per time step is used as a function of time (or otherwise). You'll need the equivalent TUI command and apply this setting with ti-menu-load-string.

Thanks for your answer`e`.
I haven't used Scheme yet, I'm going to do some research and see what i can do.
