Transient Control Group

The Transient Control group in Analysis Setup allows the user to specify transient parameters such as the simulation duration, cavitation model, transient friction calculation method, and transient checkpoints. Only the Simulation Mode/Duration panel is required to run the model.

  • Simulation Mode/Duration panel - Required panel. Contains the controls for simulation type, simulation duration, and options to save less output to file.

  • Cavitation panel - Optional panel. Allows specification of the cavitation model used and relevant model parameters.

  • Transient Friction panel - Optional panel. Allows selection of the transient friction calculation method.

  • Transient Checkpoints panel - Optional panel. Allows specification of when to create checkpoint files used to continue transient simulation.
