Below is a log file that I see when I finish running a particular problem. If you look at the log file you notice that the solver says "out" at time steps 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 .....until 1. Then finally the solver says time-stepping completed. What does this mean?


Why is the solver showing "out" at those particular times? If I see the "out" does it mean that the solution converged?

Thanks for the help.
