• Why is my simulation time getting longer and longer?

    Dear forum members,

    I am seeking assistance with Mike Eco Lab, which I am using to simulate ecological processes in a coastal lagoon in Italy. I am running simulations for the entirety of 2021, but I am encountering a problem where the simulations are getting slower and slower over time.

    Initially, a run used to last 2-3 hours with the same mesh and solution techniques. However, over the weeks, the run time has significantly increased to up to 10 hours for each run. I have tried resetting the calibration constants to their default values, but this did not solve the issue. I am wondering if this could be a cache problem, as I have run over 200 simulations.

    Has anyone encountered a similar problem with this software and knows how to solve it? Perhaps there is a cache that needs to be emptied or some other solution to this issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

    Best regards,
    Tommaso.
