JingnanLai still, a small example goes a long way. For starters, it shows us how much effort you actually put in trying to solve your problem yourself. I rephrased your question so it fits SO better, and can serve as a reference for other people in the future.

JingnanLai no, you can't. That's not how a for-loop works. In Simulation Settings, on the General tab, set the number of iterations to Automatic.

Then on the Convergence tab, set your convergence criteria. Notice that the margin of error "Convergence Tolerance" is set to a percentage of the statistic being estimated, not to a number of units. Palisade Knowledge Base. S is the estimated standard deviation of the output. E is the desired margin of error in this case, 5 units. However, slow convergence needing to increase the number of iterations from the default is often an indication of potential problems.

It could be that your data simply can't support the model and you need to simplify it. This is often the case if you have a complex random effects structure as you do. You should also carefully check the model output. Extremely small estimated variances or strong correlations of random effects are reason for concern and often mean the parameter should be removed from the model.
