The block subspace iteration method is recommended for calculation of large structures with an excessive amount of modes to be calculated. This method is usually quicker than the Lanczos method.
The subspace iteration methods solve the equation system of eigenvalue problems Kφ - λBφ = 0.
The tolerance (required convergence) of the eigenproblem solution is determined by the formula:
The tolerance parameter (tol) is defined in the Modal Analysis Parameters dialog. The accuracy of calculations can be increased by reducing the tolerance tol value. This results in the growth of the number of iterations.
Additionally, the following information is given:
- Number of the iteration performed / maximum number of iterations
- Required accuracy (tolerance)
- Accuracy of the current iteration
- Number of required modes.
