Solve Stage 1: Flow-Only, Steady-State
Click Solve from the Setup tab:
Note: For this first phase of the analysis, we solve for just the flow, and neglect thermal and transient effects.
Iterations to run = 100
Click Solve to start the analysis.
After a converged flow solution is attained, we will open the Solve dialog again, and solve for the temperature distribution.
We set the number of iterations to 100 to reduce the overall time of the exercise. To run the analysis to convergence automatically, increase the number of iterations to 300.
As the mesh is created, informational messages are displayed in the Output Bar.
After the mesh is completed, the analysis runs.
