Convergence Control<br />

No more than Ngen successive refinements are attempted. Refinement is also<br />

stopped when the number of elements in the mesh exceeds Maxt.<br />

The property Stop makes it possible to return a partially converged solution when<br />

the nonlinear, iterative, or eigenvalue solver fails at some point. If a failure occurs,<br />

the result from the previous iteration is returned. The output value Stop is 0 if a<br />

complete solution was returned, 1 if a partial solution was returned, and 2 if no<br />

solution was returned.<br />

When the Report property is on, a progress window is shown. Information about<br />

the progress of the adaptive process is printed after each adaptive step. You get a<br />

message on the number of mesh elements obtained by the adaptive step, and an<br />

error indicator. This error indicator is not an absolute error estimate. In favorable<br />

cases there is a constant C such that C times the error indicator is an upper bound<br />

of some norm of the error.<br />
