strange elapsed time

Has anyone else seen alternating elapsed time for iteration? This just occurred recently on v326. The elapsed time changes from 20-30 secs to 300-400 secs alternatively. I wonder if this is due to server or bugs? FYI, very similar model has been run without problem before this.

I think is all good. What is the problem ?? For example you may have different piso stages for each timestep....

I am not sure, I thought this was not normal because different and alternating elapsed times on each iteration. Do you think it's normal for steady state problem using SIMPLE? I think i've run this model last year but no strange elapsed time like this time (this model is slightly modified geometry).

The times will vary per iteration because each iteration/time step has a different number of sweeps (sub-iterations). If you normalize the times with total number of sweeps the results should become a bit more consistent.
And yes you can get rather large (10X) variation in sweeps between consecutive iterations. I've never found an answer to that mystery. |

Thanks for that info. So something like does occur on rare cossasions, without solution? I thought it could be a bug or something else... almost contacted hardware (server) supplier about this!
