I am on the first stages of the CS-4.0b testing and I have realized of an strage behaviour on the results output control for steady-state simulations: No matter how do I change the output control frequency, (either by "n" steps or true-time scale), it is always saved as one result per second in the result file.
I have checked the generated "xml" file and the paragraph seems to be right, so, for example:
<analysis_control>
<output>
<listing_printing_frequency>10</listing_printing_frequency>
<mesh id="-1" label="Fluid domain" type="cells">
<all_variables status="on"/>
<location>all[]</location>
<writer id="-1"/>
</mesh>
<mesh id="-2" label="Boundary" type="boundary_faces">
<all_variables status="on"/>
<location>all[]</location>
<writer id="-1"/>
</mesh>
<probe_format choice="DAT"/>
<probe_recording_frequency>1</probe_recording_frequency>
<writer id="-1" label="results">
<directory name="postprocessing"/>
<format name="ensight" options="binary"/>
<frequency period="time_step">5</frequency>
<output_at_end status="on"/>
<time_dependency choice="fixed_mesh"/>
</writer>
</output>
<profiles/>
<steady_management status="on">
<iterations>10</iterations>
<relaxation_coefficient>0.7</relaxation_coefficient>
<zero_iteration status="off"/>
</steady_management>
<time_averages/>
<time_parameters>
<iterations>200</iterations>
<max_courant_num>1</max_courant_num>
<max_fourier_num>10</max_fourier_num>
<property label="CourantNb" name="courant_number"/>
<property label="FourierNb" name="fourier_number"/>
<property label="LocalTime" name="local_time_step"/>
<time_passing>2</time_passing>
<time_step_max_factor>1000</time_step_max_factor>
<time_step_min_factor>0.1</time_step_min_factor>
<time_step_ref>0.05</time_step_ref>
<time_step_var>0.1</time_step_var>
<zero_time_step status="off"/>
</time_parameters>
</analysis_control>
...as it is defined a steady-state simulation with 200 iterations of 0.05 seconds/iteration ("total time" 10 seconds), and having defined an output control of the results of a record every 5 iterations, it would be expected to have 40 results records (one result every 0.05 seconds), but there is only 10 result records in the result file.
No matter if I change the output control recording to every 0.05 second per output register, the result file recording do not change: one per "physical" time.
Where could the mistake be?
Thanks

It also happens for transient-simulations.
