Set error tolerance (ETOL=)
SOLVER: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:    SOLVER: ETOL={error tolerance}
Example: SOLVER: ETOL=
10-14


 

Purpose: ISMLŽ DIVPAG routine error tolerance. 

Data Type: real number

Unit: n/a

Default: ~ 10-14 

Comments:  Error tolerances in the range from 10-7 to 10-12 often yield good results.  The amount of CPU time required to perform a VC simulation tends to increase as the value of ETOL decreases.  On some problems, setting the error tolerance too small may cause the VC application to terminate with a fatal error.
