hi friend,
I am using version1.5, my calculation always its saying maximum number of iteration reached after then its not calculating.
so i want to increase the number of ITERATION
how can i increase the iteration?????
can you help me to do that.

have a nice day
siva

Hi Siva,

it seems that your boundary conditions are set up not correct.

Hi Siva,

I also got this error sometimes. Than I had to change my pressure bc at time 0. Have a look in the time folder 0.

Hi Siva,

can you give me your email adresse? Maybe I can have a look to your case?

Hi Thomas,
ya sure here is my email id

Hi Siva,

if you sure you not make some misstake you can increase the iteration if I am not wrong with:

relTol 0.05;
minIter 1;
maxIter 1000;

Bye
Thomas
