Arc-Length Methods Parameters dialog box

Name	Defines the name of the modeling object.
Label	Specifies a unique numerical identifier for the modeling object.
Type	TYPE field in the NLPCI bulk data entry.Lets you specify the constraint type.
Minimum Arc-Length Adjustment Ratio	MINALR field in the NLPCI bulk data entry.Lets you specify the minimum allowable arc-length adjustment ratio between increments for the adaptive arc-length method.
Maximum Arc-Length Adjustment Ratio	MAXALR field in the NLPCI bulk data entry.Lets you specify the maximum allowable arc-length adjustment ratio between increments for the adaptive arc-length method.
Scale Factor for Loading	SCALE field in the NLPCI bulk data entry.Scale factor (w) for controlling the loading contribution in the arc-length constraint.
Desired Number of Iterations	DESITER field in the NLPCI bulk data entry.Lets you specify the desired number of iterations for convergence to use for the adaptive arc-length adjustment.
