Convergence check
-
Can I check the convergence of an EM simulation, after I close the 'x.smash' file and reopen it?
Because when I reopen the simulation file, the 'Task Manager' window is empty.
I checked the log file in the result folder, but I found nothing about convergence. -
If you are using version 8 you should be able to see the convergence as one of your simulation outputs alongside the sensors.
However, if you went to your results folder and don't see an x_Output.log with convergence information inside, it may not have been recorded. This can happen if the runtime is too short or if you removed the auto-termination condition.

Thanks, the simulation file is from sim4life V7.2, so I'm not able to see the convergence in the analysis window.
Fortunately, I have found the "x_Output.log" in my Results file, but I can't understand it.
Could you please explain the meaning of each row in the results file?
Take an example like this:
