Chapter 1: Introduction to Using <strong>ANSYS</strong> <strong>FLUENT</strong> in <strong>ANSYS</strong> Workbench: Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in a<br />
Mixing Elbow<br />
a. Examine the convergence criteria for the equation residuals.<br />

Monitors → Residuals → Edit...<br />
i. Make sure that Plot is enabled in the Options group box.<br />
ii. Keep the default values for the Absolute Criteria of the Residuals, as shown in the Residual<br />
Monitors dialog box.<br />
iii. Click OK to close the Residual Monitors dialog box.<br />
Note<br />
By default, all variables will be monitored and checked by <strong>ANSYS</strong> <strong>FLUENT</strong> as a<br />
means to determine the convergence of the solution.<br />
b. Create a surface monitor at the outlet (pressure-outlet)<br />
It is good practice to monitor physical solution quantities in addition to equation residuals when<br />
assessing convergence.<br />
