Physical Timestep

February 17, 2003, 17:44

Hi there, i'm looking for a piece of advice regarding time steps, is there a way that I can measure the physical timestep in seconds for the number of iterations I choose, using Star-LT at the moment and it automatically choses the physical timestep.

Thankyou very much for your help

Regards

Ted.

If you're talking about setting up a transient case in ProModeller, then I don't you can do transient simulations from there. Instead, pass your model over to Pro-LT and do either a transient or pseudo-transient simulation (which you can determine the time step size).

Thanks CJ Tune, will try doing just that
