Hello Vijesh,

It has to do with accelerating the solution for steady state problems. U can just ignore it by setting it to autoscale time step......

hi vijesh, i also had the same problems like you are having with the physical time step. i think this has to do with adavancing the solution within the compuational domain. cfx advises you to take one quarter or half of the typical residence time of the flow in your domain. simply put: for a quasi- 1D problem with vel. u traversing a domain with length scale l, the residence time is then approximated t as l/u, and the physical timestep is betwen 0.25*t and 0.5*t. best way to get round it is to try out different values. the convergence of your solution may depend on that. hope this helps. ben.
