STAR-CCM+ Stopping simulations after residuals convergence

Hi all,

I've been wondering how to stop a simulation based on residuals convergence.

When I've got MATLAB models, I usually exit my numerical analysis when error hits a predetermined lower limits, such as 1e-4. The only thing I've found built into STAR-CCM+ is the 'Stopping Criteria', which seems to be based off number of iterations. I want to optimise here, and not run more iterations than needed.

I'm proficient at writing macros, so if there's anything in the API you'd like to point me to, I'd appreciate the reference.

Thanks!
