    Monitoring controls

  2. Start or resume the solver and inspect the Monitoring graph.
  3. Use Autoscale, or disable it to zoom and pan manually. Compare trends with residuals and balance indicators.

Inputs and units

Input or valueMeaningUnits
Monitored quantityThe selected field or face quantity.Variable-dependent; read the graph label
Horizontal axisIteration or solver time according to the case.Read the graph label

Limitations

  • The graph represents only the configured entities and available samples. A steady monitored value at one location does not establish convergence everywhere.
