Quick question about convergence.

Dear All,
In some cfd software like fluent or solidWorks, when we carry out a simulation, the software decides to stop the simulation when a convergent solution is reached. In openfoam, on the other hand, we always have to specify an ending time of our simulation. My question: is it possible to have openfoam determine when a convergent solution is reached and have it stop the simulation automatically? Or do we have to somehow figure out when the system should be in equilibrium and specify that time? Any help or pointers appreciated, Regards, ~Ammar. |
