NDAMP

Description Type Default

Numerical damping option for direct transient solutions. Numerical damping may be specified to achieve numerical stability. A value of zero requests no numerical damping. The default AUTO setting selects the optimum value based on the solution specified. For nonlinear transient heat transfer solutions a value of 0.3 is used. For nonlinear transient response solutions a value of 0.01 is used. Larger values may improve solution stability and convergence especially when contact is present.
