Analysis Control - Transient Analysis

<Seepage Transient Analysis Control>

Convergence

Specify the convergence criteria.
 

Maximum Number of Iterations

Enter the maximum number of iterations.
Tolerance

Enter the seepage analysis tolerance. This parameter is the desired difference in the norm of the nodal head vector between two successive iterations (i.e., residual iteration). The iteration process stops if the residual iteration is less than the specified tolerance. If the residual iteration is greater than the specified tolerance, the iteration process continues until it reaches the maximum number of iterations.

Time Step

Define time steps to be used in Seepage Transient Analysis.

Step Generation

Select a step generation method.
 

User

Define each time steps directly. They can be entered using comma between them.

Auto

Time steps will be generated uniformly using specified Duration and Step Number.
 

Duration

Enter the total duration of analysis.

Step Number

Enter the number of steps to be defined.
 

Save Step

This option save the result in the specified time step in the result file.
