It is also possible to set the criterion to stop once it has reached an asymptotic limit. It allows for definition of the range over which the value can fluctuate in a given number of samples. This is useful when the exact limiting value is unknown but you do know the maximum change in the monitored value that you consider sufficient for convergence.
To select the asymptotic limit option, select the monitor stopping criterion node and select the Asymptotic option in the drop-down list under the Criterion Option property in the Properties window. The limit is set by selecting a maximum permissible absolute change in the monitored value over a given number of iterations. Expand the monitor stopping criterion node, select the Asymptotic Limit child node and edit the absolute change in the monitored value and the number of samples in the Properties window

The difference between the smallest and largest value collected during the previous Number of Samples. If this difference is not exceeded then this criterion is satisfied. |
