Large deflection analysis Solver Parameters dialog

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 Process Settings (Home tab > Molding Process Setup panel > Process Settings), 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.

Note: All solver parameters have a default value that will be suitable for most analyses.
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.
