Practically you don't need them. You can restrict your simulation to the main (core) area without adding any grids as nesting area. \\ | Practically you don't need them. You can restrict your simulation to the main (core) area without adding any grids as nesting area. \\ | ||

+ | The reason why Nesting Cells are an option in ENVI-met | ||
The reason for these problems is resulting from the fact, that the model cannot calculate real values for grid points along the borders (and especially not for grid points that are the border). As these points are missing at least one neighbour grid, only simple assumptions can be used here to obtain values that can be used in the model. This simple assumption can be that the values are constant at these grid points (so called //closed boundary conditions// | The reason for these problems is resulting from the fact, that the model cannot calculate real values for grid points along the borders (and especially not for grid points that are the border).

ENVI-met will warn you, if the flow field is not stable after 10 sec of integration time and suggest to increase the number of Nesting Grids. If you are not sure what causes your problems, you should always try to increase the number of Nesting Grids to be sure that this is not the point of trouble. | ENVI-met will warn you, if the flow field is not stable after 10 sec of integration time and suggest to increase the number of Nesting Grids.

**Remember: The Gesting Grids are not included in the Output Files by default, so you will not be able to see troubles there. To see the complete model area, you must include the nesting grids in the Output Files in the Project Wizard** | **Remember: The Gesting Grids are not included in the Output Files by default, so you will not be able to see troubles there.
