How do I know if my results are accurate?

January 18, 2016 by Cyprien 4 Comments

That’s a question that I receive very frequently, and that’s my usual answer: The result you get are accurate according to your input parameters if you observe the convergence of the solution. BUT don’t forget your output results will always depend on your model and your input parameters. If the input is wrong, you cannot […]
