!SOLUTION¶

Specifies the type of analysis.

Parameter¶

TYPE=
STATIC      : Linear static analysis
NLSTATIC    : Nonlinear static analysis (same as TYPE=STATIC, NONLINEAR)
HEAT        : Heat conduction analysis
EIGEN       : Eigenvalue analysis
DYNAMIC     : Dynamic analysis
STATICEIGEN : Nonlinear static analysis &rarr; Eigenvalue analysis
ELEMCHECK   : Element shape check
NONLINEAR        : Consider Nonlinearity（only available when TYPE=STATIC/DYNAMIC ）

Example of Use¶

Linear static analysis

!SOLUTION, TYPE=STATIC

Nonlinear static analysis

!SOLUTION, TYPE=STATIC, NONLINEAR

Note¶

TYPE=NLSTATIC is a legacy spelling equivalent to TYPE=STATIC, NONLINEAR. For new input, the TYPE=STATIC, NONLINEAR form, which states nonlinearity explicitly via the NONLINEAR parameter, is recommended.
Time settings for dynamic analysis (time increment, step time width) are consolidated in !STEP. The n_step and t_delta of !DYNAMIC are defaults used only when !STEP is omitted or for backward compatibility; specify them in !STEP for new input. See !STEP and Step control for details.
