2.4.1 Implicit dynamic analysis
classes.engineering.wustl.edu › 2009 › springIn ABAQUS/Standard the time step for implicit integration can be chosen automatically on the basis of the “half-step residual,” a concept introduced in Hibbitt and Karlsson (1979). By monitoring the values of equilibrium residuals at once the solution at has been obtained, the accuracy of the solution can be assessed and the time step adjusted appropriately.

abaqus-docs.mit.edu › 2017 › EnglishFor implicit integration, this same time increment will be used throughout the step unless contact impacts or releases occur or the automatic time incrementation scheme is used. If the SUBSPACE parameter is included, the smaller of this time increment or 80% of 2 / ω max , where ω max is the circular frequency of the highest mode included in the dynamic response analysis, is used throughout the step.
Implicit dynamic analysis using direct integration
abaqus-docs.mit.edu › 2017 › EnglishGeneral nonlinear dynamic analysis in Abaqus/Standard uses implicit time integration to calculate the transient dynamic or quasi-static response of a system. The procedure can be applied to a broad range of applications calling for varying numerical solution strategies, such as the amount of numerical damping required to obtain convergence and the way in which the automatic time incrementation algorithm proceeds through the solution.
6.3.2 Implicit dynamic analysis using direct integration
classes.engineering.wustl.edu › 2009 › springAn automatic incrementation scheme is provided for use with the general implicit dynamic integration method. The scheme uses a half-step residual control to ensure an accurate dynamic solution. The half-step residual is the equilibrium residual error (out-of-balance forces) halfway through a time increment; for a continuum solution the equilibrium residual should be moderately small compared to significant forces in the problem.
