I understand that you are working on the aerodynamics of a moving car. Please correct me if I'm wrong. May I ask why you need to do transient analysis for this?

Hi matey Thank for your concern on my works and I working with cars and The flow pattern aroumd the car is highly unsteady beside the flow behind the car is separated so to get a good drag and lift result I guess that I must do unsteady analisis and to star this analysis I need some values of Time step size(s) Number of time steps and Max. Iterations per time step

Greetings Mateys and take care

To start off I would suggest using the time it takes the freestream flow to pass through one cell.

For a car speed of 100 m/s (or avg speed of incoming air - something like avg wind tunnel air speed), I would start with a quarter of a milisecond. But again, it depends upon the solution stability.
