Or is there any way to understand the simulated time period from the CFD simulation? Thank you.</P> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:58:25 GMT 101224474 2023-09-20T07:58:25Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/how-long-does-one-iteration-represent-in-actual-time/m-p/12252897#M520 <P>Hi everyone, I would like to know how long one iteration represents in actual time.

If you are running a steady state simulation the time is frozen at a single point. Iterations have nothing to do with time. If you are running a transient simulation you can specify the time step in seconds. Again, iterations have nothing to do with time. In both cases the iterations are solution sets at each time.
