How to Accurately Determine Convergence Criteria

Hello,

When solving your model, you must specify convergence criteria. I am just wondering how can I determine a suitable number for that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

As a general rule, you check the normalized residual of the equation. When it is at least 4-5 orders of magnitude of the initial one you can consider convergence
