AbsoluteTolerance

Absolute error tolerance applied to state value during simulation

Description

AbsoluteTolerance is a property of a SolverOptions object, which is a property of a Configset object. It is available for the ode solvers (ode15s, ode23t, ode45, and sundials).

SimBiology uses AbsoluteTolerance to determine the largest allowable absolute error at any step in a simulation. How the software uses AbsoluteTolerance to determine this error depends on whether the AbsoluteToleranceScaling property is enabled.

For details, see Selecting Absolute Tolerance and Relative Tolerance for Simulation.

Characteristics

Applies toObject: SolverOptions
Data typedouble
Data valuesPositive scalar. Default is 1e-6.
AccessRead/write

Examples

This example shows how to change AbsoluteTolerance.

  1. Retrieve the configset object from the modelObj.

    modelObj  = sbiomodel('cell');
configsetObj = getconfigset(modelObj)

  2. Change the AbsoluteTolerance to 1e-8.

    set(configsetObj.SolverOptions, 'AbsoluteTolerance', 1.0e-8);
get(configsetObj.SolverOptions, 'AbsoluteTolerance')

ans =

  1.0000e-008
