How to time simulations

Hey all grizzled Fluent experts,
Not a really difficult question I imagine, but I pose it anyway: How do I time simulations (both steady and unsteady) in Fluent? Preferably some output connected to the hardware clock, but any relative time measurement would do. Best Regards |

Hey Sara,
Not being this sort of expert as well, you need to activate the unsteady option in the "Define > solver" menu. Then, you could choose whether you adopt 1st or 2nd order formulations (for time descritization). Cheers, Amr |

Hi,
If you want to time iterations (in terms of CPU time) see - http://www.cfd-online.com/Forum/fluent.cgi?read=39373). Though you need to input the number of iterations you wish to be timed. Also, in parallel, you can use the Parallel>timer function. You can always run a serial job in parallel on just one processor, it does pose an additional load adding to the time slightly, but if it's relative measurements between your cases it'll be ok.
