*-These CONVERGE solvers feature a changed startup sequence compared to earlier CONVERGE v3.0 builds that can cause the first coupled timestep to be ill-conditioned in GT-SUITE. This may interfere with the startup or cause the simulation to fail. Convergent Science corrected this issue in the v3.0.20 release.
