h0rst Member Join Date: Nov 2016 Posts: 73 Rep Power: 10	Hello everybody, my convergence is moderate...like 1e-3 for the highest residual. In the stationary progress, the worst residual goes ftom 1e-3 to 8e-3. So, can I expect that the results in the time step, where the convergence is 1e-3, is better than the residuals in a time step later one, where the residual reaches 8e-3? If yes, I could run for 10000 iterations and will use the results from the time step, where the residuals are at the lowest level. Best regards h0rst
