Default 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!
