Solver Control

Configures the simulation engine, including calculation iterations, convergence criteria, and parallel processing options (CPUs).

Eddy3D 0.5.0.815

Input

  • Iter
    Maximum solver iterations. Higher = more accurate but slower. Typical: 500-2000. Default: 1000
  • Write
    Save results every N iterations. Lower = more disk space. Typical: 10-50. Default: 20
  • Keep
    Number of saved timesteps to retain on disk. Older saves are deleted. Default: 3
  • Turb
    RANS turbulence model. k-epsilon is fast and robust for urban flows. k-omega SST is more accurate near walls.
  • Relax
    Under-relaxation for solver stability. Robust is safer for complex geometry. Default: Optimized
  • Schemes
    Discretization schemes for equations. Optimized balances accuracy and stability.
  • PotInit
    Initialize with potentialFoam for faster convergence. Recommended for new simulations. Default: false
  • AoA
    Calculate mean age of air (ventilation effectiveness). Must be enabled before running simulation.
  • CPUs
    Parallel processing cores. -1 = auto-detect. More cores = faster but needs more RAM. Default: 1
  • OS
    Target OS for simulation scripts. Auto-detect works in most cases.
  • CFD
    Custom BlueCFD installation path. Default: C:\Program Files\blueCFD-Core-2020

Output

  • RSet
    Solver configuration object to connect to Wind Simulation component
