Convergence tests
Convergence tests with mesh refinements were performed
in this study. The Max EQV stress in maxilla
was used for convergence monitoring, and a tolerance
of 3% was used. A change of 3% of the Max EQV
stress in both cortical and cancellous bones was considered
to be convergent, and an adaptive convergence
was obtained when the number of mesh-refinement
loops was set as 2.
