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:
“Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
