SOLUTION:Nonlinear Options

CNVTOL, Lab, VALUE, TOLER, NORM, MINREF Sets convergence values for nonlinear analyses.
Lab Valid convergence labels are as follows: If STAT, list the status of the currently specified criteria.
Structural labels: U (displacements); ROT (rotations); F (forces); M (moments).
VALUE Typical value for the above label for this analysis. If negative, and if this convergence label was
previously specified explicitly, then convergence based on this label is removed. (A negative VALUE
will not remove a default convergence label.) Defaults to the maximum of a program calculated
reference or MINREF. For degrees of freedom, the reference is based upon the selected NORM and the
current total DOF value. For forcing quantities, the reference is based upon the selected NORM and the
applied loads.
TOLER When SOLCONTROL,ON, tolerance about VALUE. Defaults to 0.005 (0.5%) for force and moment,
and 0.05 (5%) for displacement when rotational DOFs are not present. When SOLCONTROL,OFF,
defaults to 0.001 (0.1%) for force and moment.
NORM Specifies norm selection:
2 -- L2 norm (check SRSS value) (default).
1 -- L1 norm (check absolute value sum).
0 -- Infinite norm (check each DOF separately).
MINREF The minimum value allowed for the program calculated reference value. If negative, no minimum is
enforced. Used only if VALUE is blank. Defaults to 0.01 for force and moment convergence. When
SOLCONTROL,OFF, defaults to 1.0 for force and moment convergence.

NCNV, KSTOP, DLIM, ITLIM, ETLIM, CPLIM Sets the key to terminate an analysis.
KSTOP Program behavior upon nonconvergence:
0 -- Do not terminate the analysis if the solution fails to converge.
1 -- Terminate the analysis and the program execution if the solution fails to converge (default).
2 -- Terminate the analysis, but not the program execution, if the solution fails to converge.
DLIM Terminates program execution if the largest nodal DOF solution value (displacement, temperature,
etc.) exceeds this limit. Defaults to 1.0E6 for all DOF.
ITLIM Terminates program execution if the cumulative iteration number exceeds this limit (defaults to ).
ETLIM Terminates program execution if the elapsed time (seconds) exceeds this limit (defaults to infinity).
CPLIM Terminates program execution if the CPU time (seconds) exceeds this limit (defaults to infinity).

NEQIT, NEQIT Specifies the maximum number of equilibrium iterations for nonlinear analyses.
NEQIT Maximum number of equilibrium iterations allowed each substep.
When SOLCONTROL,ON, NEQIT is set between 15 and 26 depending on the physics of the
problem. When SOLCONTROL,OFF, NEQIT defaults to 25 for all cases.

NROPT, Option, -, Adptky Specifies the Newton-Raphson options in a static or full transient analysis.
Option: AUTO -- Let the program choose the option (default).
FULL -- Use full Newton-Raphson.
MODI -- Use modified Newton-Raphson.
INIT -- Use the previously computed matrix (initial-stiffness).
UNSYM -- Use full Newton-Raphson with unsymmetric matrices of elements where the
unsymmetric option exists.
Adptky Adaptive descent key:
ON -- Use adaptive descent (default if frictional contact exists; if one of the elements CONTAC12,
CONTAC26, CONTAC48, CONTAC49, or CONTAC52 is present; or if plasticity exists and
one of the elements PIPE20, BEAM23, BEAM24, or PIPE60 is present). Explicit ON is valid
only if Option = FULL.
OFF -- Do not use adaptive descent (default in all other cases).

NLGEOM, Key Includes large-deflection effects in a static or full transient analysis.

Key Large-deflection key:
OFF -- Large-deflection effects are ignored, i.e., small-deflection analysis (default).
ON -- Large-deflection effects are to be included (large deflection, large rotation, and/or large strain,
depending on the element type).

PRED, Sskey, --, Lskey Activates a predictor in a nonlinear analysis.

Sskey Substep predictor key:
OFF -- No prediction is done (default if rotation DOF are present or SOLID65 is present).
ON -- Use a predictor on all substeps after the first (default, unless rotation DOF are present, or
SOLID65 is present).
Lskey Load step predictor:
OFF -- No prediction across load steps is done (default).
ON -- Use a predictor also on the first substep of the load step (Sskey must also be ON).

LNSRCH, Key Activates a line search to be used with Newton-Raphson.

Key Line search key:
OFF -- Do not use a line search.
ON -- Use a line search. Note, adaptive descent is suppressed when LNSRCH is on unless
explicitly requested on the NROPT command. Having line search on and adaptive descent
on at the same time is not recommended.
AUTO -- ANSYS automatically switches line searching ON and OFF between substeps of a load step
as needed. This option is recommended.

SOLUTION:Load Step Options

AUTOTS, Key Specifies whether to use automatic time stepping or load stepping.
Key Automatic time stepping key:
OFF -- Do not use automatic time stepping.
ON -- Use automatic time stepping.

SOLUTION:Analysis Options

SOLCONTROL, Key1, Key2, Key3, Vtol Specifies whether to use optimized nonlinear solution
defaults and some enhanced internal solution algorithms.
Key1 Optimized defaults activation key:
ON or 1 -- Activates optimized defaults for a set of commands applicable to nonlinear solutions. This
is the default. The majority of solution command defaults are listed under the Notes section below. See
also the description of individual solution commands for default values.
OFF or 0 -- Restores defaults to pre-ANSYS 5.4 values (see the Default States table below). Internal
solution algorithms work as for pre-ANSYS 5.4.
Key2 Check contact state key. This key is operable only when the optimized defaults are active (Key1 =
ON) and a contact or nonlinear status element is present in the model. When check contact state is
active, ANSYS will base the time step size on the specifications of KEYOPT(7) for all contact
elements. KEYOPT(7) for contact elements can be used to ensure that the time step interval accounts
for changes in the contact status. Also, when Key2 = ON, ANSYS ensures the time step is small
enough to account for changes in nonlinear element status (applies to LINK10, COMBIN7,
COMBIN14, COMBIN39, and COMBIN40 elements). Valid arguments for the key are:
ON or 1 -- Activate time step predictions based on specifications of element KEYOPT(7) or the
nonlinear status of the element (applies to LINK10, COMBIN7, COMBIN14, COMBIN39, and
COMBIN40 elements).
OFF or 0 -- Time step predictions not based on contact status or nonlinear element status (default).
Key3 Pressure load stiffness key. In general, use the default setting. Use a non-default setting only if you
encounter convergence difficulties. Pressure load stiffness is automatically included when using
eigenvalue buckling analyses (ANTYPE,BUCKLE), equivalent to Key3 = INCP. For all other types
of analyses, valid arguments for Key3 are:
NOPL -- Do not include pressure load stiffness for any elements.

The SOLCONTROL command is designed to provide reliable and efficient default solution settings for single-field
full structural nonlinear or full transient analysis, or single-field thermal analysis. (It is not applicable for reduced
transient analysis.) The optimized default settings and advanced internal solution algorithms can be used to solve the
majority of structural/thermal, nonlinear/transient problems with the least amount of user intervention. The
SOLCONTROL command is ON by default.
