Trying to run a simulation with 1000 runs, but stops after 80 iterations

I am doing simulation since long and providing 1000 number of iterations. Still that stops after completing nearly 80 iterations, every time,(Till now did 15 times) without showcasing any errors. I also have checked my boundary conditions and meshed

    Perhaps you run steady state simulation and the solution converges around 80th time steps.

    You might need to go through some acusolve tutorial first to understand the convergence.

    One more thing, AcuSolve is FEM-based, not like Fluent or StarCCM+.

    So maximum number of time steps should be 100 for steady state.
    If it did not converge within 100-time steps, you may need a finer mesh.

    I would agree with Junta that if you're running a steady-state simulation, it's likely the model converged and stopped cleanly.  If that is not the case, you may want to post your .inp and .Log files for review.  An explanation of what you are trying to solve would also be helpful.
