Ansys EmployeeThe FDTD convergence testing page is the best place to find tips and methodology to help with convergence testing. A few specific suggestions:
- The simulation volume is larger than it needs to be. Just include about 1/2 a wavelength of space around the edge of the structure
- Start by using a larger mesh so the simulation runs faster
- Add a movie monitor so you can see where the instability in the fields comes from

Boost Ansys Fluent Simulations with AWS
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) helps engineers design products in which the flow of fluid components is a significant challenge. These different use cases often require large complex models to solve on a traditional workstation. Click here to join this event to learn how to leverage Ansys Fluids on the cloud, thanks to Ansys Gateway powered by AWS.
