User Manual

Parameters - Output Parameters:

The output parameters menu is used to govern how often a solution file and restart file are generated as well as to which variables are written to solution files.

For Steady State Solutions the user may control number of iterations between output file generation. For runs requiring large amounts of CPU time it is advisable to set this parameter to a reasonable value ( default is 20) so that in case of power failure, etc. the solution can be restarted from the last output dump.
For transient problems, the user may enter the number of iterations between output dumps as well as print intervals at various time step points. These print intervals can be changed between various time intervals. The user has to indicate the start time and end time and the applicable print interval.

The user has to check the results variables needed in the output file. As the number of output variables increase, so does the size of the output file.

If the user forgets to include the results during a run, a restart run where only a result file is produced can be used to generate the desired results.
