Using a set of 60 Tree-SPH simulations of the formation of an individual galaxy, including star formation physics, we quantitatively assess the numerical accuracy and convergence of these methods. For simulations using 24000 particles in total, the gross structures of the resultant galaxies are reliably resolved.
