Hi everybody,

I am wondering if there is a way to indicate to my solver to not consider calculated values of a quantity (T in my case) if it is inferior to a fixed value.

I will try to explain it. Currently i am working on a huge model (more than 30 millions of elements) on a complex geometry. The flow i am simulating is a transient one and on some areas, the calculation begin with a little divergence on the temperature.

This divergence is not a problem at the beginning (less than 0,001 %) but it increases with the number of time steps and the calculation is soon not physical at all. I am facing temperatures equal to -1600 K...
This is why i would like to avoid this problem by a minimal value of the temperature.
