Static structural structural error plot

Can anyone help me understand how or what the structural error plot is showing in the static structural mechanical solver? I know it's error between the averages of nodes but how is it displayed? The units say mJ so energy? I'm used to solidworks displaying it as a percent error. How would I correlate this to a percent error, that seems more logical to me. This seems to be more of an absolute error. Thanks!
