We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, 

Convergence depends from problem to problem, but for majority of the nonlinear problems, force convergence serves as a first step, a displacement convergence acts as an additional verification step. All other convergence checks will also be done with their default settings. Please find this KM - 
1) What is displacement convergence? 2) In some cases force or displacement convergence alone is sufficient while in some other cases both are activated. What is the reason for this? - Ansys Knowledge

Also find this CNVTOL help documentation for more information -

Thanks,
