 I encountered a problem during the data extraction process: 
 If I rerun a model without any changes, sometimes I will encounter a convergence issue at a phase where no convergence issue occurs the first time I run the model.

&lt;p&gt;If you encounter convergence issue sometimes I would advise you to check what causes them. You can check our&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/wiki/52853/calculation-kernel-convergence-log"&gt;Calculation Kernel Convergence log&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;article that explains how to read our log file and try and understand what causes the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In general &amp;quot;small difference&amp;quot; is a very subjective term. I would care on judging the difference on engineering levels and not on purely mathematic differences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are no known issues on convergence problems with a calculation. That can occur as we perform numerical analyses. Each time you get an error there are possible explanations, which are described on our Reference manual Appendix.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should you need further assistance, please&amp;nbsp;submit a service request.
