Initialize and Solve Question

hajakala · August 30, 2023, 21:11

Hello. I would like to ask about how the initialize ans solve works exactly.
I know that when I change the model slightly that I should first re-initialize and then solve.
What exactly happens if I just solve without initializing? It seems to run faster and produce a different result. Is it OK to just solve without initializing if one part of the model is different but the rest are the same? Why does it run faster though?

Hello Joe,

What do you mean by "initialization"? Meshing?
