Albany: Output control

Output Frequency

‘Exodus write interval’ specifies how often to write output per converged solution (or time step). For example, by specifying 200, output will occur once per every 200 converged steps.

To take 200 steps and output every step, set the write interval to 1. Then look in the ‘Stepper’ scope and determine the Max Value (of the time parameter, think of this as termination time). Then look in the ‘Step Size’ scope at the ‘Initial Step Size’ and ‘Max Step Size’ scope. If you want exactly 200 steps, set ‘Initial Step Size’ = ‘Max Step Size’ = ‘Max Value’/200.
