More Floworks help

[element94]

I have had several unsuccessful attempts at obtaining results from my model. My model is not that complex but the CPU time is sooo slow. I'm lucky if I get 1-5 iterations in a 2 to 3 hour period. I've set the gap size at 1 or 2 and reset the computational domain to better fit my model. Should I keep the computational domain at what Floworks sets it at? I also reset the minimum wall thickness to around .25" to .5" since my part is thin. My computer is a 2.4 with 1.0GB of RAM. Thanks!

We had the same problem here. You need a high end pc with 2 GB RAM, processor: 3.2 min. This is my experience to get it to work effeciant.

You also might try had refining your mesh. I found that to vastly speed things up when I was doing piping work with .032"-304L
