Convergence is achieved when the relative unbalance is less than or equal to 1.0. Basically, the Convergence tolerance at any step is computed by multiplying the relative convergence tolerance (1.0e-4) times the current magnitude of the load vector:

Tol = relTol * max( || internalForceVector ||, || externalForceVector || )

The unbalance error is calculated as:

Err = || internalForceVector - externalForceVector ||

Convergence is achieved if Err <= Tol, or:

relErr = Err/Tol <= 1.0

It is relErr that is reported on the screen and in the log file.
