Load Step: Analysis Procedure

Select Analysis procedure to define the analysis type of the load step.

The following analysis types with the corresponding parameters and data lines are supported:
Table 1.
Analysis Types Parameter
*FREQUENCY PROPERTY EVALUATION, EIGENSOLVER = {SUBSPACE, LANCZOS, AMS}, NORMALIZATION = {MASS, DISPLACEMENT}, RESIDUAL MODES, ACOUSTIC COUPLING, NUMBER INTERVAL, BIAS, USER BOUNDARIES
*BUCKLE EIGENSOLVER = {SUBSPACE, LANCZOS}
*DYNAMIC (Standard) HAFTOL, DIRECT, DIRECT=NO STOP, SUBSPACE, ADIABATIC, ALPHA, INITIAL, NOHAF
*DYNAMIC (Explicit) EXPLICIT, SCALE FACTOR, ADIABATIC

FIXED TIME INCREMENTATION, DIRECT USER CONTROL, ELEMENT BY ELEMENT

IMPROVED DT METHOD = YES or NO

*HEAT TRANSFER DELTMX, END = {PERIOD, SS}, STEADY STATE, MXDEM
*MODAL DYNAMIC CONTINUE = YES or NO
*STATIC ADIABATIC, FULLY PLASTIC, RIKS, STABALIZE, DIRECT, DIRECT=NO STOP, FACTOR, LONG TERM
*STEADY STATE DYNAMICS DIRECT, SUBSPACE PROJECTION = {ALL FREQUENCIES, CONSTANT, EIGENFREQUENCY, PROPERTY CHANGE}, FREQUENCY SCALE, INTERVAL, REAL ONLY, DAMPING CHANGE, STIFFNESS CHANGE
*COUPLED TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT STEADY STATE, MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE CHANGE DELTMX
*DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT(Explicit) TIME INCRIMINATION, IMPROVED DT METHOD, SCALE FACTOR

There are two tabs for each analysis type: Parameter and Dataline. The layout of the tabs change, based on the analysis types selected.
