Can I save flow time in Fluent
 

Dear colleagues,

I am working on transient analysis and I need to reach flow time of 0.8 seconds, but in order to satisfy Courant condition my time step size is 1e-7. As you can see I need very large number of time steps to reach flow time of 0.8 seconds, so I was wondering can I, at certain point of time, save my flow time and results, then turn off Fluent and then after while continue from the saved flow time?

Other option is to take lower size of time step in order to reach flow time of 0.8 seconds, but in that case Courant condition will not be 1, and I am afraid that will result with wrong results...

If you have any advice, I would be more then grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Prikane

Just save the data file... and then load it when you want to run again.
