Simulation runs

The Simulation runs panel open beside the setup tree, showing the Status, Controls, Queue, After the run, Result and Diagnostics sections.

Setup tree: Simulation runs

Label changes with the case; the source gives these forms: Running…, Resume, Start run.

  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Enabled when: CaseState.runState !== "running"
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

Label changes with the case; the source gives these forms: Queue running, Run queue.

  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Enabled when: !CaseState.simulationQueueRunning
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Shown when: CaseState.runState === "running" || CaseState.runState === "paused"
  • Enabled when: CaseState.runState === "running" && CaseState.activeJob !== "solve"
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Shown when: CaseState.runState === "running" || CaseState.runState === "paused"
  • Enabled when: CaseState.runState === "running" || CaseState.runState === "paused"
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Shown when: CaseState.runState === "running" || CaseState.runState === "paused"
  • Enabled when: CaseState.runState === "running" || CaseState.runState === "paused"
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)
  • Shown when: CaseState.runState === "converged" || CaseState.runState === "stopped" || CaseState.runState === "killed"
  • Control: on/off (ToggleRow)

On, a run that produces a NaN stops at once - which is what you want while a case is being set up. Off, it runs on. Some turbulence models form a quotient and clip it immediately, and the trap fires on the quotient rather than on the result, so a healthy run dies with no message.

The application checks these before a run and reports them in the Problems tab against this step.

Severity Message
… …: …
warn The run stopped at its iteration limit rather than meeting the residual criterion, so this is the solution so far rather than a converged one. Raise the iteration count, or loosen the criterion on the Numerics step if the residuals have already levelled off.
error These results were not produced by a solver. No solver backend is installed, so the residuals, the monitors and any coefficient read off them are an illustrative preview. Do not quote them. Reports carry an “illustrative” watermark for the same reason.

… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
