and now the earth is rotating again in a right direction ;)

:) :) thanks

There is an expert parameter which allows you to output wall clock time in the output, should be useful in your case.

ok, i'll try it, thanks!

CFD Solver wall clock seconds: 7.5005E+04

Here, the wall clock seconds means the required time for the solution only, or the partitioning etc is involved?
