Jim,

I ran in to this a couple weeks ago.

The tolerance needs to be set on the specific part id for the numericalresp=
onse part of the problem.
The part 0 tolerance does not override the specific tolerance.

Show "all parts" for tolerance in the resource mode of the parameter settin=
gs.

You will probably find a "tolerance part 0_17" or some such thing. Set this=
 parameter specifically for
this resource only.

Hope this helps!
Mark

parameter settings and set the tolerance to 5% for this problem in my cours=

 default setting of the problem?  What do I need to do to fix it.
