Hello,
Does implementing the fan curve (in 3D Fan Zone) as piece-wise linear as opposed to linear increase the computational time? User guide does not mention anything about it. Regards, Yanki |

Not really. The difference is negligible.
It just takes more time for a human to setup. In rare instances you can run into stability or divergence problems, but that's not directly related to computational cost. |
