Convergence Criteria Specification

ab12gu · October 30, 2017, 10:33

Does anyone know how to set the convergence criteria to be based on user points?

Also, could I increase the maximum iterations for my run after it ran for the maximum iterations without the system resetting from 0 iterations?

What do you mean by "user points"?

You can define custom convergence criteria using the interrupt control settings on the solver control tab.

If you want to run for more iterations you can simply restart the simulation using the previous simulation as initial conditions. If the run is currently proceeding you can use "edit run in progress".
