a330 New Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	In section "2.1.8.2 Running the code" of the first cavity tutorial on OpenFOAM the user should increase the simulation time and rerun the solver. When I postprocess the flow in ParaView it looks the same and nothing changes except the Courant number (rises from ~0.2 to ~0.6 because of the time-step). Why do I need to run the solver again?
