Hi all Flex colleagues. I am using a transient 2D script in version 3.10b. My problem is calculating now for more than 65 years already but I still havent reach steady-state yet. Does somebody have tips for me or some suggestions or maybe some corrections to my added script.. Thanks anyway.

Hi Marc

Try to run your model for 1000 years and see in your history plots whether it looks like a steady state?

Your equations are not behaving well. I suspect an error in the nonlinear terms.

I suggest again that you start out with a linear system and satisfy yourself that that is running correctly before you start adding the decidedly nasty nonlinear effects.

Replace the nonlinear parts with representative constants and try it that way.

Maybe you have an oscillatory system or conditions are such that you have a homoclinic orbit? If you "know" that it should be a steady state, try to give better initial conditions.
