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:

    Let there be no steps backward. A thought as to the manliness of persevering, of the want of manliness in yielding to depression, came to his rescue.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
