GeneralViscoImplicit DynamicThermal TransientSteady-State Coupled Thermal-StressTransient Coupled Thermal-Stress
Convert SDI Determines how severe discontinuities, such as contact changes, are accounted for during a nonlinear analysis.Default-Previous StepUses the value specified in the previous general analysis step.YesUses local convergence criteria to determine whether a new iteration is needed. Abaqus determines the maximum penetration and estimated force errors associated with severe discontinuities and check whether these errors are within the tolerances. Therefore, a solution may converge if the severe discontinuities are small.NoForces a new iteration to occur if severe discontinuities occur during an iteration, regardless of the magnitude of the penetration and force errors.This option corresponds to the CONVERT SDI parameter for the *STEP keyword.

GeneralImplicit DynamicViscoDirect CyclicThermal TransientSteady-State Coupled Thermal-StressTransient Coupled Thermal-Stress
Linear Equation Solver Controls whether Abaqus uses the direct sparse solver or the iterative solver for the analysis.DirectSpecifies the direct sparse matrix solver. The Abaqus direct sparse solver uses a multifront technique that can reduce the computational time required to solve the equations if the equation system has a sparse structure. This type of sparse matrix structure often occurs when the physical model is made from several connected parts, such as a spoked wheel. Parts modeled with beams, trusses, and shell elements also have sparse matrix stiffness.IterativeSpecifies the iterative linear equation solver. The Abaqus iterative solver is based on the domain decomposition method. You can only use the iterative solver for linear and nonlinear static, quasi-static, and steady-state heat transfer solution analyses. Additionally, the stiffness matrix must be symmetric and the solution must contain a single load case. The iterative solver finds an approximate solution to the linear system of equations. You should only select the Iterative option for very large, well-conditioned models (typically several million degrees of freedom). In general, the iterative solver is most appropriate for large, block-like or chunky parts. The iterative solver requires less disk storage than the direct sparse solver, but it also uses more in-core memory than the direct solver.This option corresponds to the SOLVER=ITERATIVE parameter for the Abaqus *STEP keyword.For more information, see Direct linear equation solver and Iterative linear equation solver in the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide. Static Perturbation

If you set Eigenvalue Extraction Method to Lanczos, lets you select either:Modes OnlySpecify desired number of eigenvalues. Modes/Eigenvalue RangeSpecify the minimum and/or maximum eigenvalues of interest. The software extracts the eigenvalues until either the requested number of eigenvalues has been extracted in the given range or all the eigenvalues in the given range have been extracted. Buckling Perturbation

Specify the maximum frequency of interest (the global frequency), and the software extracts all the modes up to this frequency. Note: Force or reaction nodal output variables are not valid for the AMS eigenvalue method. If you request them, the software issues an error message. This option corresponds to the EIGENSOLVER parameter for the *FREQUENCY keyword. Frequency Perturbation

Shift Point Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Subspace or Lanczos.Specifies the shifted squared frequency. Note: Specify a value when a particular frequency is of concern or when the natural frequencies of an unrestrained structure or a structure that uses secondary base motions (large mass approach) are needed. Frequency Perturbation
Number of Vectors Used in the Iteration Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Subspace.Specifies the number of vectors used in the iteration. If you omit the value, the software determines an appropriate value. In general, the convergence is faster with more vectors, but the memory requirement is larger. Frequency Perturbation
Maximum Number of Iterations Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Subspace.Specify the maximum number of iterations. Frequency Perturbation
Block Size Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Lanczos.Specifies a block size. In general, set the block size as large as the largest multiplicity of eigenvalues (that is, the largest number of modes with the same frequency). A block size of 7 is good for rigid body modes. A block size over 10 is not recommended. If you do not enter a block size, the software determines an appropriate value. Frequency Perturbation
Maximum Number of Block Lanczos Steps Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Lanczos.Specifies the maximum number of block Lanczos steps within each Lanczos run. The software usually determines the value. In general, if a particular type of eigenproblem converges slowly, providing more block Lanczos steps helps reduce the analysis cost.If you do not enter the maximum number of block steps, the software determines an appropriate value. Frequency Perturbation
Number of Modes to Be Stored Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring.Specifies the number of eigenvalues to be calculated. If you do not enter a value, the software evaluates all the eigenvalues from the minimum frequency of interest up to the maximum frequency of interest. Frequency Perturbation
Cutoff Frequency Multiplier for Substructure Eigenproblems Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring.Specifies the cutoff frequency for substructure eigenproblems, defined as a multiplier of the maximum frequency of interest. Note: You control the execution of the AMS method using the three cutoff parameters. These three parameters multiplied by the maximum frequency of interest define three cutoff frequencies. The Cutoff Frequency Multiplier for Substructure Eigenproblems parameter controls the cutoff frequency for substructure eigenproblems in the reduction phase, while the First Cutoff Frequency Multiplier Used to Define a Starting Subspace and Second Cutoff Frequency Multiplier Used to Define a Starting Subspace parameters control the cutoff frequencies used to define a starting subspace in the reduced eigensolution phase. In general, increasing the value of First Cutoff Frequency Multiplier Used to Define a Starting Subspace and Second Cutoff Frequency Multiplier Used to Define a Starting Subspace improves the accuracy of the results but can affect the performance of the analysis. Frequency Perturbation
First Cutoff Frequency Multiplier Used to Define a Starting Subspace Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring.Specifies the first cutoff frequency used to define a starting subspace in the reduced eigensolution phase, defined as a multiplier of the maximum frequency of interest.

If there is no damping defined in the model, the projection is not performed.Clear the Project Viscous and Structural Damping Coefficients check box if you do not want to project the damping operators.This option corresponds to the DAMPING PROJECTION parameter for the *FREQUENCY keyword. Frequency Perturbation
Compute Residual Modes Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Lanczos or Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring.Select this check box to indicate that residual modes are to be computed. The residual modes help correct for errors introduced by mode truncation.Note: To minimize the number of modes required for a sufficient degree of accuracy, the set of eigenmodes used in the projection and superposition can be augmented with additional modes known as residual modes. If you select the Compute Residual Modes check box to compute residual modes, do not enter a value for Number of Desired Modes. Frequency Perturbation
Request Eigenvectors at Specified Nodes Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring.Specifies how to request eigenvectors.All NodesComputes eigenvectors at all nodes.Automatically Selected by SolverLets the software automatically selects the nodes at which to compute eigenvectors.Select Node SetSpecifies a node set. The software computes and stores eigenvectors at the nodes that belong to that node set. Frequency Perturbation
Specify a Node Set Appears when Eigenvalue Extraction Method is set to Automatic Multi-Level Substructuring and Request Eigenvectors at Specified Nodes is set to Select Node Set.Specifies a node set. Select the node set from the list or click New Group to create a node set. Note: When you create a group of nodes, be sure to enter the labels in the Node Labels group, the only entity type supported.The node set that you specify must include all nodes at which loads are applied or output is requested in any subsequent modal analysis. If element output is requested or element-based loading is applied, the nodes attached to the associated elements must also be included in this node set. Computing eigenvectors at only selected nodes improves performance and reduces the amount of stored data.If a mismatch exists between the group of nodes at which eigenvectors will be computed and the group of element/nodal output requested in output requests, the solver issues an error message. Frequency Perturbation
