Parameters
----------
allowPropagation
A Boolean specifying whether to allow all control values to propagate from a previous
step. Setting this argument to ON automatically sets *resetDefaultValues* to OFF. The
default value is ON.
resetDefaultValues
A Boolean specifying whether to use all default control values. Setting this argument to
ON automatically sets *allowPropagation* to OFF. The default value is OFF.
discontinuous
A Boolean specifying whether to set *timeIncrementation* values that will usually
improve efficiency for analyses with severely discontinuous behavior. The default value
is OFF.
constraints
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying tolerances on constraint
equations. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that item in the sequence will
be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT.
The default value is DEFAULT.
lineSearch
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying line search control
parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that item in the sequence
will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the SymbolicConstant
DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
timeIncrementation
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying time incrementation
control parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that item in the
sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
directCyclic
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying direct cyclic control
parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that item in the sequence
will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the SymbolicConstant
DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
concentrationField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying mass concentration field
equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that
item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
displacementField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying displacement field and
warping degree of freedom field equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence
contains a value of 0, that item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined
value. The value can also be the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
electricalPotentialField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying electrical potential
field equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0,
that item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be
the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
globalField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying parameters for all
applicable field equilibrium equations. This argument overwrites all other field
equilibrium equation control values. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that
item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
hydrostaticFluidPressureField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying hydrostatic fluid
element volume constraint parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0,
that item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be
the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
poreFluidPressureField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying pore liquid volumetric
continuity equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of
0, that item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also
be the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
rotationField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying rotation field
equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that
item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
temperatureField
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Floats specifying temperature field
equilibrium equation parameters. If a specified sequence contains a value of 0, that
item in the sequence will be set to its system-defined value. The value can also be the
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
vcctLinearScaling
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying linear scaling parameter for a VCCT
debonding analysis. If a specified value is 0, it will be set to its system-defined
value. The value can also be the SymbolicConstant DEFAULT. The default value is DEFAULT.
