Convergence plot not displaying

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi! I'm having a bit of a strange problem, so I was hoping someone could help me. I'm running a stationary study, and I want to view my convergence data. I selected "Generate Convergence Plots" in the study settings, but despite that it's not generating any convergence data. When I click on the convergence plot settings in the progress window, it says "No Convergence Data". I'm not quite sure why this is, am I doing something wrong? If so, is there some other way to discuss my model's achieved order of convergence? I considered using the LinErr parameter, but I don't completely understand what the means. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sahil,

When you solve a stationary problem using a direct solver, there is no convergence information to display if the equations are linear. The Convergence Plot windows appear for time-dependent simulations and for stationary studies that are nonlinear or are using an iterative solver.

Best regards,
