Load sharing and standby solutions in BlockSim are performed using numerical integration routines. 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 BlockSim's preset options and/or check for the integration error using the "Integration Parameters..." option for each container. For more details, you can refer to the documentation on the Algorithm Setup window in the BlockSim 7 User's Guide.
