Solving time dependent models with inconsistent initial values

Solution numéro: 1172 Versions: Toutes les versions

A common mistake when setting up transient models is to have initial conditions that are inconsistent with the loads and boundary conditions. This occurs most often when running transient fluid flow studies, but the ...
