Natural Convection Exercise 7—Performing the Simulation
 | Monitoring points must be created before you perform the simulation. |
1. In the Flow Analysis Tree, under Physics select Common.
2. In the Properties panel, Model tab, set values for the options as listed below:
◦ Number of Iterations—1000
◦ Time Definition—Steady State Simulation
◦ Result Saving Frequency—1000
3. In the Run group, click 
Run to begin the simulation. The default settings are set to Start from Initial Values and Steady in the Run group.
Run to begin the simulation. The default settings are set to Start from Initial Values and Steady in the Run group.4. If the Info dialog box opens, click Yes to generate the mesh and continue.
5. Click 
XYPlot Panel to view the residuals for the steady simulation.
