Convergence Criteria
$ We know that the solution we obtain from
Finite Element Analysis is always an
0 approximate one and not exact. However, it is
6.0k possible to reduce error to a minimum
views
acceptable level. When this happens, we say
that solution converges.

To ensure convergence following criteria have


to be fulfilled. These criteria pertain to the
polynomial which we assume to be the
approximate solution to the problem in hand.

Polynomial should be a complete


polynomial i.e it must contain all the
degree from 0 to the highest order of the
derivative used in weak form. This
requirement is necessary to capture all
possible states of the actual solution.
The polynomial should be contineous
over the element and also di!erentiable
upto the order of the derivatives in the
weak form.This requirement ensures
non-zero coe!icients in the solutions.
The approximate solution should be
interpolation function of the primary
variables at the nodes of the finite
element. This requirement is essential to
ensure compatibility of the solution.

Besides these criteria, we can improve upon


convergence by reducing the size of the
elements i.e increasing number of elements in
which case we call h-cenvergence or by
increasing the degree of polynomial in which
case we call p-convergence.
