26.19.1 Overview of Solution Steering

Solution steering in the density-based implicit solver provides you with an expert system that will help navigate the flow solution from a starting initial guess to a converged solution with minimum user interaction. When you apply solution steering, you will be required to select the type of flow that best characterizes the solution domain and the maximum desired accuracy, and then allow the solver to take the solution to convergence. As the solver proceeds with the solution iteration, certain solver parameters will be adjusted behind the scenes to insure that a converged solution to steady state is possible.

Solution steering is available only for steady-state flows in the density-based implicit solver.
