Q. Equilibrium not satisfied in 11.0 to the same criteria that it was in 10.0.?
In a test problem at 11.0 where a force of 5000lbs is applied in Y direction on a beam, FX is not zero(see summary below)

NODE FX FY

1 26417. 4620.4
46 -24519. 6783.4
86 -25819. -580.24
87 -1238.2 -2875.1
88 25156. -2948.3

TOTAL VALUES

VALUE -2.9125 5000.2


A. This is not an error. Changes were made at 11.0 which can effect the convergence pattern.
By default, we only guarantee 0.5% error in force and 0.5% in displacement,
which is cnvtol,U,, 0.005,2, and cnvtol,F,,0.005,2.

In the example give, the error is only 3/5000 = 0.06% in force.
User should always check the force balance after a nonlinear run.
If the default tolerance is not acceptable, user can change it.
