Dear all,
I am running CFX 14.0 and am trying to see where in my mesh my maximal residuals are located.

According to the solver/The output file my 'V-Mom-Bulk' is my highest momentum residual and its final value is said to be around 1.7*10^-4.

When I want to see it in POST (Using Insert Volume/Isovolume/Variable:V Mom Bulk.Residual) it does not show any elements over 1*10^4. Going for a lower value and coloring the volume according to the variable value using a local scale, POST also suggests that my highest residual for 'V Mom Bulk.Residual' is ca 7.6*10^-5.

I am then not sure which maximal residual value what is true, 1.7*10^-4 or 7.6*10^-5 or if something is fundamentally wrong somewhere.

So, my question is if anyone have experiences this or can see a mistake in my reasoning/method described above and could please give me a hint about why this is?

Thank you in advance
