How is the adaptive time step size decided in Ansys Fluent?

I am interested to know how does Fluent decide the time step size when I am using adaptive time stepping. It depends on the mesh size and the convergence (residues) of the last time step. But,...

Masud Rana

You can interrupt in the middle. But I don't think you can resume it. It shows some error you need start solution after clearing generated data.

Hardik Mistry

Thanks Masud Rana

The idea is to pause the solution whenever required and then resuming it.

This facility may be very helpful when solution is being done on remote clusters.
