Dynamic Relaxation - Iteration Steps

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:

    Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;—and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
