===Static Simulation Engine Settings===
[[EM.Ferma]] currently uses a single iterative linear system solver based on the stabilized Bi-Conjugate Gradient (BiCG) method to solve the matrix equations which result from the discretization of Poisson's equation. You can specify some numerical parameters related to the Bi-CG solver. To do that, you need to open the Simulation Engine Settings Dialog by clicking the "Settings" button located next to the "Select Engine" drop-down list. From this dialog you can set the maximum number of BiCG iterations, which has a default value of 10,000. You can also set a value for "Convergence Error". The default value for electrostatic analysis is 0.001. For magnetostatic analysis, the specified value of convergence error is reduced by a factor 1000 automatically. Therefore, the default convergence error in this case is 1e-6.
{{Note|The value of convergence error affect the accuracy of your simulation results. For most practical scenarios, the default values are adequate. You can reduce the convergence error for better accuracy at the expense of longer computation time.}}
