[TRNSYS-users] What is the TOLERANCE meaning?

[David Bradley]

Logan,

   The TOLERANCES statement is a control statement used to specify the 
error tolerances to be used during a TRNSYS simulation. The statement has 
the form:

TOLERANCES  eD  eA
or
TOLERANCES  -zD  -zA

where

eD      is a relative (and zD is an absolute) error tolerance controlling 
the integration error.
eA      is a relative (and zA is an absolute) error tolerance controlling 
the convergence of input and output variables.

Example:        The error tolerances eD and eA are both to be set to 
one-tenth of one percent.  The TOLERANCES statement is then

TOLERANCES  .001  .001

The tolerances for the new equation solver (SOLVER=1) are considered 
differently.  The mean standard deviation for all of the equations is 
calculated and must be less than the specified tolerances to reach convergence.
Regards,
   David
