Edit a Global Goal

Allows you to edit an existing global goal.

Procedure

  1. In the Flow Simulation Analysis tree, right-click the global goal item and select Edit Definition.
  2. Under Parameter, select a parameter of interest in the Parameter list.
    • For non-integral parameters (e.g. “Static Pressure”, or “Total Pressure”, etc.), in the list below select which parameter value, namely, minimum (Minimum value), average (Average value), maximum (Maximum value) or bulk average (Bulk average value) will be used as a global goal.

      All values are calculated over the entire Computational Domain.

    • For the components of vector parameters (“Force X”, “Force Y”, “Force Z” etc.), select the Coordinate System  in which this goal is calculated.

      By default, the Global Coordinate System is selected.

      You can replace the Global Coordinate System by selecting your coordinate system in the flyout FeatureManager design tree. To create a coordinate system, click Insert > Reference Geometry > Coordinate System.

  3. Under Options, select the Use for convergence control check box if you want the goal’s convergence to be included as a condition of finishing the calculation.

    If you clear this check box, the goal’s convergence is used for information only so the calculation may be stopped before the goal is converged.

    See “Finishing the Calculation” for details.

  4. Click OK .

Results

The global goal is now updated.
