The Bidirectionally Coupled Particle Tracing study (
)¨is used to model the interactions of particle trajectories with stationary fields. The study creates a
Time-Dependent Solver that solves for all degrees of freedom related to the particles. All other degrees of freedom are computed using a
Stationary Solver. The two solvers are repeated using a For-End For loop so that a self-consistent solution is obtained, taking the bidirectional coupling between the moving particles and stationary fields into account.

Select an option from the Termination method list:
Fixed number of iterations (the default) or
Convergence of global variable. For
Fixed number of iterations enter a positive integer for the
Number of iterations (default 5). Any nodes between this
For node and the following
End For node will be repeated a number of times equal to the specified
Number of iterations.
This default solve sequence generated by this study step includes a loop containing the For and End For nodes. The options in this section correspond to the
General section of the settings window for the
For node.
