Hello all.

I am new to Ansys

I am working on a project in which I simulate a given ( already designed ) Airfoil.

Now I have my velocity ( that I calculated from the Re values I'm targeting )

And angle of attack too ( searched for it in papers)

But my graph plots for these are showing some "iterations" I didn't know about, for velocity parameter, and the "values" for these criteria were given as 0.001.

My graphs for lift and drag were going completely off from what I expected.

But then I researched a bit, and changed the "criteria" from 0.001 to 0.00001, and now I'm getting the lift to drag ratio as expected almost.

But in papers I have read, decreasing residual values that low is tough.

But I just changed them by clicking on that box and typing what I wanted.

Can someone explain what I'm missing here?

Please have a look at the picture attached for more clarity.
