Tolerance

The value used to set the tolerance for the difference in values between the reference and current version result files during comparison.

Default -  1e-6 for Scalar, Tensor, and Vector, if not individually chosen.

Scalar – Enter values if different for the scalar result type.

Vector – Enter values if different for the vector result type.

Tensor – Enter values if different for the tensor result type.

User Defined – Set the individual tolerance value for all data types.

Click Apply to set new values (enter the values in the text box).
