Read straight from the data behind the panel, not from a hand-written list.

From a fixed list in the application.

  • Robust
  • Balanced
  • Accurate

The application checks these before a run and reports them in the Problems tab against this step.

Severity Message
error The solution diverged: the residuals grew instead of falling. Lower the relaxation factors, improve the worst cells on the Quality pane, or start from potential flow.

marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
