| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | Fit does not converge | Bad initial guess | Estimate from graph manually | | Negative resistance | Wrong circuit topology | Remove serial R before parallel branch | | CPE exponent >1 | Inductive behavior | Add L element or restrict n ≤ 1 | | High χ² | Missing element (e.g., diffusion) | Add Warburg or Gerischer | | Fit changes drastically with weighting | Data noise | Increase low-frequency averaging | zsimpwin tutorial
Error 3: The program freezes on "Calculating..."
Cause: Infinite loop due to non-converging iteration (common with high φ >45° or high c >200 kPa).
Fix: Press Esc. Reduce φ to 40° temporarily. If it runs, your soil is too strong for the iterative solver. Use the "Rigorous" vs "Simplified" toggles in the Settings menu. The Ultimate Zsimpwin Tutorial: From Installation to Mastery
