Converegence Monitor & Work units

Hi Lukas,

let me answer your questions.

Refresh convergence monitor

In a future version is already a refresh button integrated. What you can do in the current version to refresh is rather indirect: Select the convergence monitor, deselect and select the simulation you are monitoring.

But actually you description rather sounds like a "broken convergence monitor". Is this a behaviour you can reproduce?

Work units

Yes it is correct that the work units can have decimals. I have explained that in the demonstration. 1 iteration without multi-grid algorithm is equal to 1 work unit. 1 iteration with multi-grid algroithm is >1 work unit. During the coarse grid initialisation 1 iteration is <1 work unit. The work unit represents the computational cost.

Does that help you?

Best regards
Manuel

Hi Manuel,

thanks for your answer. Yeah, refreshing isn’t a problem. While the simulation is running it updates itself, depending on what I have set.

Maybe you’re right with the "broken convergence monitor" but for the moment I can’t tell you exactly what it triggers. But it happens more than 5 times while I completed the first three challenges.

Hi Lukas,

okay then you could try the following:

• Go to GUI Styles in the bottom menu.
• Duplicate your preffered GUI style. Rename it, if you want.
• Activate and select the new created GUI sytel.
  
• Actiavte the option advanced widgets in the section GUI behaviour. Now you see the 2 small arrows in the top right corner of each view.
• Use the arrow icon to delete the convergence monitor:
  
• You now have the choice what should be displayed in this view. Select simulation monitor.
  

Does it work now again?

Best regards
Manuel

Okay, thanks. I will try it if I have the same trouble in challenge 4.
