SetStepToleranceOptions Method (ICWNonLinearStudyOptions)

Sets convergence and equilibrium parameters.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function SetStepToleranceOptions( _
   ByVal NEqilibriumIteration As Integer, _
   ByVal NMaxEqilibriumIteration As Integer, _
   ByVal DConvTol As Double, _
   ByVal DPlasticityTol As Double, _
   ByVal NSingularityEleFactor As Double _
) As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ICWNonLinearStudyOptions
Dim NEqilibriumIteration As Integer
Dim NMaxEqilibriumIteration As Integer
Dim DConvTol As Double
Dim DPlasticityTol As Double
Dim NSingularityEleFactor As Double
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.SetStepToleranceOptions(NEqilibriumIteration, NMaxEqilibriumIteration, DConvTol, DPlasticityTol, NSingularityEleFactor)
C# 
int SetStepToleranceOptions( 
   int NEqilibriumIteration,
   int NMaxEqilibriumIteration,
   double DConvTol,
   double DPlasticityTol,
   double NSingularityEleFactor
)
C++/CLI 
int SetStepToleranceOptions( 
&   int NEqilibriumIteration,
&   int NMaxEqilibriumIteration,
&   double DConvTol,
&   double DPlasticityTol,
&   double NSingularityEleFactor
)

Parameters

NEqilibriumIteration
Frequency of performing equilibrium in number of solution steps
NMaxEqilibriumIteration
Maximum number of equilibrium iterations for any solution step
DConvTol
Relative displacement tolerance used for equilibrium convergence
DPlasticityTol
Tolerance for strain increment for models with creep or plasticity
NSingularityEleFactor

Stiffness singularity elimination factor:

  • normal solution if set to 1
  • if <1.0, then the program modifies stiffness terms causing singularity to help convergence

If normal solution fails, trying a different value; for example, 0 may help convergence.

Return Value

Status as defined in swsNonLinearStudyOptionsError_e
