Transient Quasi-Static Step Parameters
Time Duration of Step	Specifies the total time allowed for the step.
Time Incrementation	Controls how Abaqus divides the time within a step into increments in a quasi-static analyses.AutomaticSpecifies automatic time incrementation. Abaqus automatically adjusts the size of the time increments to solve the problem efficiently.FixedSpecifies fixed time incrementation. You directly control the time incrementation.
Initial Time Increment	Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Automatic.Specifies the suggested initial time increment. This value should be in agreement with the strain change allowed with the CETOL parameter but may be reduced if automatic time incrementation is being used.
Minimum Time Increment	Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Automatic.Specifies the minimum time increment allowed. If Abaqus needs a smaller time increment than this value, the solve terminates.
Maximum Time Increment	Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Automatic.Specifies the maximum time increment allowed. If you do not specify a value, Abaqus does not impose any upper limit on the time increment.
Time Increment Size	Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Fixed.Specifies the amount of time for each increment.
Optional Creep and Damping Step Parameters
CETOL Accuracy Tolerance	Specifies an accuracy tolerance that limits the maximum inelastic strain rate change allowed over an increment. This value is the maximum difference in the creep strain increment calculated from the creep strain rates based on conditions at the beginning and on conditions at the end of the increment. This value controls the accuracy of the creep integration.If you do not specify a value, Abaqus uses fixed time increments.
Creep Integration	Lets you specify the creep integration method to use.Implicit MethodSpecifies the implicit creep integration method.Explicit MethodSpecifies the explicit creep integration method, which can be more efficient computationally because it does not require iteration.For more information, see Rate-dependent plasticity: creep and swelling in the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide.
Activate Automatic Stabilization	Controls whether Abaqus automatically stabilizes unstable quasi-static solutions by adding volume-proportional damping to the model.NoAbaqus does not try to stabilize an unstable solution.Stabilize with Energy ControlAbaqus applies the dissipated energy fraction of the automatic damping algorithm to stabilize the solution.Stabilize with Damping ControlAbaqus applies damping to the model to stabilize the solution.Stabilize with Damping Factors from Preceding StepPropagates the damping factors from the previous step to this step.For more information, see Automatic stabilization of unstable problems in the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide.
Dissipated Energy Fraction	Appears when Activate Automatic Stabilization is set to Stabilize with Energy Control.Lets you specify the dissipated energy fraction of the automatic damping algorithm.
Damping Factor	Appears when Activate Automatic Stabilization is set to Stabilize with Damping Control.Lets you directly specify the damping factor that Abaqus uses to stabilize the solution.
ALLSDTOL (Max. Stabilization-Strain Energy Ratio)	Appears when Activate Automatic Stabilization is set to Stabilize with Energy Control, Stabilize with Damping Control, or Stabilize with Damping Factors from Preceding Step.Specifies the accuracy tolerance used by the adaptive automatic stabilization scheme.
