Iterate Until Convergence

Prior, to running the calculation the maximum number of iterations must be set. To specify the maximum number of iterations click on Run Calculation then set the Number of Iterations to 1000, as shown in the image below.

As a safeguard save the project now. Now, click on Calculate two times in order to run the calculation. The residuals for each iteration are printed out as well as plotted in the graphics window as they are calculated. After running the calculation, you should obtain the following residual plot.

The residuals fall below the specified convergence criterion of 1e-6 in about 557 iterations, as shown below. Actual number of convergence steps may vary slightly.
