Memory upgrade

Although for daily usage 2 to 4 GB of RAM may seem sufficient, when it comes to CAE, all that memory space is soon swallowed […]

Grid resolution

CFD solutions are typically more sensitive to grid resolution than the turbulence model and convective flux discretization, so it is recommended to establish proper grid […]
