Fields

Status

Status of the calculation.

After a successful calculation this reads, " Successfully terminated". If there is an error during the calculation, it reads, "Error". If the calculation has been canceled, it reads, "Canceled".

Total Time

Displays how long the calculation has been running for. At the end of a calculation, it displays the total time elapsed.

Progress

Progress of the calculation in percent.

Number of unknowns

Number of unknown temperatures, which must be calculated.

Number of elements

Number of finite elements for the mesh.

Max. Number of iterations

Maximum number of iterations for the calculation (for the calculation of the temperature dependent conductivities, equation solver, and automatic mesh refinement).

Current Number of iterations

Current number of iterations for the calculation (for the calculation of the temperature dependent conductivities, equation solver, and automatic mesh refinement).

Max. rel. quotient

The calculation of the temperature dependent conductivities will be carried out until the relative quotient of the conductivity of all domains with temperature dependent conductivities is smaller than the maximum tolerated relative quotient or until the maximum number of iterations has been reached.

Max. rel. error

Maximum relative error of a solution vector. The resulting equation system will be solved iteratively until the relative error is less than this value or the maximum number of iterations has been reached.

Current rel. error

Current relative error of the solution vector.

Max. rel. flow balance

Maximum relative error of the heat flow balance. The heat flow error is the ratio of the sum of all signed heat flows and half of the sum of absolute values of the heat flows.

Current rel. flow balance

Current relative error of the heat flow balance.

Stop

Stops the calculation. After stopping, the button caption changes to OK.

OK

Closes the dialog window. Before closing, the status of the calculation can be seen in the Status field.
