Hello everyone, Can anybody please help me in this topic? I would like to know if there is any correlation between # of cycles and the total time needed to complete the analysis.

I mean, What does the # of cycles stand for or represent? What is the difference between # of cycles and time step?
Thanks

  • # of cycles indicates how many times the phenomenon of the analysis has progressed in the time direction.
    And time step Δt indicates the time to advance per cycle.
    Please check the following for your reference.
    time_cylces
    The calculation time per cycle largely depends on the complexity of the flow phenomenon to be analyzed and the number of meshes.
    Therefore, the calculation time depends on # of cycles required for analysis.
    The following is an example for understanding 'time , # of cycles' .
