Setup > Simulation

Use the controls in Setup > Simulation to run and manage multiple simulations.

Solve

Select the physics for the simulation from the Physics tab.
Use the Control tab to configure how the analysis runs.
Enable and configure Adaptive Meshing with the Adaptation tab.

Solver Manager

The Solver Manager provides the ability to schedule and run multiple scenarios from a single dialog. This eliminates the need to activate and run each scenario individually.

For example, an engineer creates a design study consisting of numerous scenarios. Several compute resources are available, but some are reserved by others until later that day or night. Use the Solver Manager to select which computer each scenario will run on, the order in which they are solved, and the start time. Because all scenarios are managed from the Solver manager, the engineer saves a lot of time by not having to manually open and launch each scenario individually.

Notifications

Progress Notifications are e-mails sent by Autodesk Simulation CFD when your analysis has completed a specific milestone.

Milestones include:

Analysis start
Meshing completion
Analysis conclusion

Monitor Point

Monitor points are locations in the model at which the basic degrees of freedom are plotted in the Convergence Plot. They provide a way to track trends and monitor convergence at specific locations within the model.
