postprocessing keeps hanging

October 22, 2007, 03:11

Hi. I was wondering if I can adjust some settings in Fluent to speed up its post-processing. Cuz I have a grid of about 1 million cells and fluent really takes a very long time to display a contour plot.

Thanking you in advance

Assuming this is a steady state solution, for 1 million cells, a contour plot should be relatively fast (usually within 0-20 seconds to produce). If not, are you exceeding memory allocations for your computer?
