Missing Time Steps?

Ollie West · June 8, 2015, 09:57

I have just run a simulation with a time step of 0.0005s. The .simh file is twice as large as the previous simulation I ran with a time step of 0.001s (makes sense as they both use the same mesh and initial conditions (apart from the time step)).

However, when exporting lift coefficient data, the time step appears to only be 0.001s. I am sure the simulation ran with the correct time step entered.

How can I access/export all data points?

Thanks.

Oliver.

Check the monitor on your life coefficient and ensure it's being reported at every timestep.
