    The energy error percentage is the parameter that checks the energy conservation during each numerical cycle. This is a measure of the quality of an explicit dynamic simulation. This parameter defines the maximum allowed value of energy error before killing the simulation.It is bounded to + or - 99%.

     

    If the energy error is negative, it means that some energy has been dissipated and positive shows an energy creation.
