Default Fluid model

To handle fluids correctly in term of time, I need to set the time unit as 1 second. Then I find it will take a very long time to run the simulation, since 1 year means 31,536,000 tickers. Any suggestion? Thanks!

If the model runs too slowly, make sure your model is compiled - convert all your triggers to C++.

Just creating that number of events alone will take about a minute - that's without doing any tick processing. With a FluidGenerator, Tank and Terminator on my notebook it was about 30 minutes at that resolution. Does it need to be so fine a resolution and over such a long period?
