Numerical parameters for iterations

Ver: 1   DESCRIPTION The data for the iterative scheme are entered or modified in this menu.   OPTIONS

Upper level menu
1
Modify the max number of iterations
Allows the user to enter a maximum number of iterations to reach convergence. 
For evolution problems, this maximum number holds for EACH evolution step.
Default value = 10.
2
Modify the convergence test
A relative convergence test is requested. Convergence is compared to the most pessimistic relative error with respect to all fields in the solution.
Default value = 10-4
3
Modify the divergence test
A divergence test is requested. Divergence occurs if the most pessimistic relative error is greater than a prescribed value. The divergence test saves useless iterations. However, divergence does not prevent the evolution algorithm from continuing the S-marching at a lower value of S.
Default value = 10+3
