Solver
The solver configuration panel defines are necessary solver settings:
| Configuration | Sub-Configuration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Inital Time | $\phantom{++++++}$ | Initial simulation time |
| Final Time | Final simulation time | |
| Fixed dt | User defined step time | |
| Verbose | Enable verbose | |
| Solvertype | Defines the used solver | |
| Safety Factor | Safety factor for dt calculation | |
| Numerical Damping | Defines the percentage of energy that will be dissipated in one second | |
| Adaptive Time Stepping | Enables the adaptive time stepping method | |
$\phantom{++++++}$ | Stable Step Difference | Number of steps that are needed to stabilize the calculation |
$\phantom{++++++}$ | Maximum Bond Difference | Number of bonds that are allowed to break in one step |
$\phantom{++++++}$ | Stable Bond Difference | Stable number of bonds that are allowed to break in one step |
| Stop after damage initiation | Enable to stop the simulation after first damage occurs | |
| Stop before damage initiation | Enable to stop the simulation before first damage occurs |
