Defining Settings on the Convergence Tab for Non-Transient Solutions

To set the convergence data, click the Convergence tab in the Solve Setup dialog box. Convergence settings can be standard or optional. Standard convergence settings include the following:

• Refinement Per Pass – The percent you set for Refinement Per Pass determines how many tetrahedra are added at each iteration of the adaptive refinement process. The tetrahedra with the highest error are refined.
• Minimum Number of Passes – The minimum number of adaptive passes even if the convergence criteria are reaches.
• Minimum Converged Passes – The minimum number of adaptive passes to continue after the convergence criteria are reached.

Optionally, convergence criteria can also be based on the value of an output variable. This condition is in addition to the normal stopping criteria. To base the convergence criteria on an output variable value, refer to Defining Expressions for Non-Transient Solutions.

For 2D Eddy Current solutions only, improved accuracy may be obtained by including loss in the convergence criteria. To include the loss calculation in convergence, select the Use Loss Convergence check box.
