11.3.3 Simulation

This section explains the settings to run the EGR cooler simulation

1. Select Simulation Panel and enable Steady.
2. Enter Number of Iterations as 1000 and Result Saving Frequency as 100 .
3. Select Start from Initial Values to start from initial run.
4. After you save the project, click Start to run the simulation.
5. The result files are saved as .sres in the working folder (Example : "projectname_1000.sres").

Note: The Result Saving Frequency option in the Simulation Panel is set to a small value (say 5 or 10) before running the simulation to obtain better animations.

Note: The default Converge Criterion is 0.001 for Steady Simulation. When the residuals for all the variables drop by three orders or the maximum Number of Iterations reached, the calculation stops.
