Step¶

The Step commands described in this chapter are used to create and configure analysis steps. Step commands (output) describes the commands used to create and configure output requests and integrated output sections and the commands to configure diagnostic printing, monitoring, and restart. Step commands (miscellaneous) describes the commands used to configure controls, damping, and frequency tables.

A SymbolicConstant specifying which type of integration to use throughout the step. Possible values are IMPLICIT_EXPLICIT and EXPLICIT_ONLY. The default value is IMPLICIT_EXPLICIT.

cetol=0¶

A Float specifying the maximum difference in the creep strain increment calculated from the creep strain rates at the beginning and end of the increment. The default value is 0.0.

amplitude=STEP¶

A SymbolicConstant specifying the amplitude variation for loading magnitudes during the step. Possible values are STEP and RAMP. The default value is STEP.

extrapolation=LINEAR¶

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of extrapolation to use in determining the incremental solution for a nonlinear analysis. Possible values are NONE, LINEAR, and PARABOLIC. The default value is LINEAR.

maintainAttributes=False¶

A Boolean specifying whether to retain attributes from an existing step with the same name. The default value is False.

solutionTechnique=FULL_NEWTON¶

A SymbolicConstant specifying the technique used to for solving nonlinear equations. Possible values are FULL_NEWTON and QUASI_NEWTON. The default value is FULL_NEWTON.

reformKernel=8¶

An Int specifying the number of quasi-Newton iterations allowed before the kernel matrix is reformed.. The default value is 8.

convertSDI=PROPAGATED¶

A SymbolicConstant specifying whether to force a new iteration if severe discontinuities occur during an iteration. Possible values are PROPAGATED, CONVERT_SDI_OFF, and CONVERT_SDI_ON. The default value is PROPAGATED.

adaptiveDampingRatio=0¶

A Float specifying the maximum allowable ratio of the stabilization energy to the total strain energy and can be used only if stabilizationMethod is not NONE. The default value is 0.05.

continueDampingFactors=0¶

A Boolean specifying whether this step will carry over the damping factors from the results of the preceding general step. This parameter must be used in conjunction with the adaptiveDampingRatio parameter. The default value is OFF.
