Hi,

I use fortran routine in CFX but
Does a calculation using routines is longer than a calculation without routine (in terms of CPU-time) ?
If yes, which statements consume time ?

Thanks

Not sure what your concern is. The software package is a collection of hundreds/thousands of routines/functions; therefore, it should be no different.

Now, if you add your own routine/function to customize something it should be nearly the same time unless your algorithm is either better (less time), or worse (a lot more time) than the internal algorithm.

Summary: if you use your own, you may be partially to blame for slow down, or congratulate if it speeds up. Otherwise, it is the provider to blame for lack of performance.

Thanks for your reply. But is it sure that the simple fact to add a Junction Box Routine slow down the calculation ?

That depends on what you do in it.

If you do nothing, it means nothing compared to the calculation time.

If you create an infinite loop, you get the idea.
