Container Algorithm Setup

Load sharing and standby redundancy configurations in BlockSim are analyzed using numerical integration routines based on the Gaussian quadratures method. As with any numerical analysis routine, the solution error depends on the number of iterations performed, the step size chosen and related factors, plus the behavior of the underlying function. By default, BlockSim has a certain set of preset factors that it uses. In general, these defaults are sufficient for most problems. If a higher precision is required or if you want to verify the precision for the specific problem, you can modify the preset options and/or check for the integration error via the Algorithm Setup window. From this window you can also access the Container Integration Parameters Wizard, which will calculate the optimum number of quadratures to achieve the accuracy you specify.
