mqsim is on a distinguished road
Hi everyone,

I am following the same procedure than Xwang in the first post. I am wondering if someone found an answer for the 4th point which is the issue of how to stop simulations?

The only tool I have to define the convergence uses the residuals. But when I reach 1e-6 for each variable it does not mean I reach convergence... Is there already something implemented to define a convergence criterion using lift and drag coefficients?

Regards,

mqsim
