Computed residual error
« on: February 3, 2012, 20:07 »
Dear Sir,
         I have faced a warning massage as following.


################################################################################
# WARNING                                                                      #

# The computed multigrid residual is greater than the required accuracy.       #
#                                                                              #

Will it affect on the calculation ? How can I remove this type of error?

This error has no implication, and I think, it should be considered to removing it.

It simply means that the multigrid solver (for getting the electrostatic potential) was tried to converged to a error of 1e-12, but only archived 3.6e-11 before
it ran out of attempts.

When the error is on this scale it can be considered a debug message, and can safely be ignored.
