Figure(s) . short figure caption or label. What is to be measured?. What processes, properties etc. will be probed. Why is this information important?. When modeling a problem using a finite element program, it is very important to check whether the solution has converged. . The . word convergence is used because the output from the finite element program is converging on a single correct solution. In order to check the convergence, more than one solution to the same problem are required. If the solution is dramatically different from the original solution, then solution of the problem is not converged. However, if the solution does not change much (less than a few percent difference) then solution of the problem is considered converged..
