Solver Settings page

Defines the time at which the solver performs the thermal correlation analysis.

The list of correlation times comes from the sensor time points defined in the Sensors page and, the original solution time steps. You can add times by entering manually the time value to the list. You can delete times from the Correlation Times list by selecting the time and press Delete on your keyboard.

Specifies the option used for the optimization convergence criterion.

• Constant—Uses a constant convergence value for the normalized error between the computed and the target temperatures for a thermal correlation analysis.

• Time Varying—Uses a time-dependent convergence criterion that you define in the Convergence criterion table. The convergence criterion size is a linear interpolation of the table data.

Specifies the value at which the objective function of the optimization will satisfy the convergence requirement. This value must be greater than 0.

Lets you define different converge criteria for different times of the transient solution. You must specify the times in the Time column and the associated convergence criteria in the Convergence Criterion column.

Use Import from File to import times and convergence criterion values from a file.
