This dialog is used to specify the settings for the solver parameters of a large deflection Stress/Warp analysis.
To access this dialog, ensure that you have selected an analysis sequence that includes Warp or Stress, click ( ), if necessary click Next one or more times to navigate to the Warp Settings or Stress Settings page of the Wizard, set the Warpage analysis type or Stress analysis type option to
Large deflection
, then click Solver parameters.
Apply imperfection to model to assist convergence | If you have previously run a large deflection analysis that failed due to convergence problems, then applying an imperfection to the model may resolve the problem. |
Relative convergence tolerance | |
Maximum number of load incrementation steps | Enter the upper limit of loading increments (steps) that the program can take in the nonlinear analysis. |
Maximum load factor | |
Maximum load factor increase per step | |
Maximum number of iterations per step | This option specifies a limit on the number of equilibrium iterations that the solver will perform in each step of the nonlinear analysis. |

Load incrementation method | |
Reconstruct stiffness matrix | Specifies the initial solution strategy to be used in the nonlinear analysis. |
