Steady-Time

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Is there any simple way to identify the time that solution reaches steady state,*** " in particular in Livelink-Matlab"***

For instance, time-dependent fluid flow through a simple Y- junction needs ("t"-seconds) to reach its steady state. I'm going to find that specific "t" !

In addition, Is it possible to stop solving when solver reaches that particular "t"?

Hi,

You should be able to do that using Stop events. You can find more info by reading the Stop Condition section of the Studies and Solvers chapter of the documentation.

You will have to define for yourself what is the right criterion to qualify steady-state conditions, as this is problem dependent. Usually it would involve following the progression over time of some key output quantities.
