The termination tolerance used for iterative processes is also influenced by values specified in the Tolerance factor fields present in active Fully Coupled, Segregated, and Segregated Step subnodes. See Termination Criterion for the Fully Coupled and Segregated Attribute Nodes for details.

Automatic to perform an analysis that automatically detects if the problem can be solved with a linear solver approach. If this option is selected, no other settings are required.
|
•
|
Linear to use a linear solver. This option uses the same linearization point for both residual and Jacobian computation and corresponds to one step in Newton’s method.
|
•
|
Linear perturbation to use a linear solver. This option computes the Jacobian in the same way as the Linear option but uses a zero solution when computing the residual. It is useful for small-signal analysis and similar applications where the variations around a linearization point are of interest.
|
•
|
Nonlinear to use a nonlinear solver. If this option is selected, no other settings are required.
|
•
|
Initial expression to use the expressions specified on the Initial Values nodes under a specific physics interface as a linearization point.
|
•
|
Solution to use a solution as a linearization point. Use the Solution list to specify which solution to use if Prescribed by has been set to Solution. Select:
|
-
|
Zero to use a linearization point that is identically equal to zero.
|
-
|
Any other solution to use it as linearization point. It can be the current solution in the sequence or a solution from another sequence or a solution that was stored with the Solution Store node. You select a stored solution by changing Use to the name of the stored solution.

•
|
When you want to define auxiliary parameters that are part of the equations like CFLCMP or niterCMP and where the solver does not define these parameters (for the Stationary solver, CFLCMP is defined when pseudo-time stepping is used; niterCMP is defined by the nonlinear solvers).
