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:

    Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
