Data

Description

N

Nonlinear solver method

= 0: set to 1

= 1: Modified Newton method

= 2: BFGS Quasi-Newton method

L_A

Maximum iteration number of stiffness matrix updates

= 0: set to 3, if iterative solver and set to 6 if direct solver

Itol

Termination criteria

= 0: set to 2

= 1: relative residual in energy

= 2: relative residual in force

= 3: relative residual in displacement

=12: relative residual in energy and in force

=13: relative residual in energy and in displacement

=23: relative residual in force and in displacement

=123: relative residual in force, energy and in displacement

Toli ... Tolj ... Tolk

When (Itol = 1, 2, 3), tolerance for termination

Toli

= 0 (default): set to 1.0e-3 for energy or displacement (Itol = 1, 3); set to 5.0e-3 for force (Itol = 2)

When (Itol = 12, 13, 23) two tolerances for termination

Toli Tolj

=0.0 0.0 (default): set to 1.0e-3 for energy; to 1.0e-2 for force and 1.0e-2 for displacement

When (Itol = 123) three tolerances for termination

Toli Tolj Tolk

=0.0 0.0 0.0 (default): set to 1.0e-3 for energy; to 1.0e-2 for force and 1.0e-2 for displacement

Comments

1.For static implicit computation, the loading should be defined as monotonous, increasing time function to better manage the convergence.
2.Order of input tolerance is according to the Itol value with 1: energy; 2: force; and 3: displacement.

Example: Itol = 23, the order is Tolerance in force and Tolerance in displacement.
