icoFoam is no steady-state solver so you will not get an "convergence" state.

you can control the initialResidual outputs of the linear solvers. they give a hint how much happens in one timestep.

okay thanks a lot! i think i start a calculation over night and tomorrow i'll see after how many iterations the solution doesn't change notable.
