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.
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.
