Iteration Steps
1. Set the initial kinetic energy and all nodal velocity components to zero:
2. Compute the geometry set and the applied load component:
3. Compute the residual:
4. Reset the residuals of constrained nodes to zero
5. Update velocity and coordinates:
6. Return to step 3 until the structure is in static equilibrium

Famous quotes containing the word steps:
“Perhaps of all our untamed quadrupeds, the fox has obtained the widest and most familiar reputation.... His recent tracks still give variety to a winter’s walk. I tread in the steps of the fox that has gone before me by some hours, or which perhaps I have started, with such a tip-toe of expectation as if I were on the trail of the Spirit itself which resides in the wood, and expected soon to catch it in its lair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
