      Limitations of Adaptive Convergence are documented in ANSYS Help: Mechanical User’s Guide> Understanding Solving > Adaptive Convergence. Adaptive convergence is not supported for: Orthotropic materials. Solid shell elements (the SOLSH190 series elements). Adaptive convergence is not valid: For linked environments where the result of one analysis is used as input to another analysis. See the Define Initial Conditions section for details. If a Periodic Region or Cyclic Region symmetry object is defined. If an imported load object exists in the environment. For magnetostatic analyses, Directional Force results allow seeking convergence based on Force Summation or Torque as opposed to other results converging on Maximum or Minimum values.
