Energy Increment Test

This command is used to construct a CTestEnergyIncr object which tests positive force convergence if one half of the inner-product of the x and b vectors (displacement increment and unbalance) in the LinearSOE object is less than the specified tolerance.

test EnergyIncr $tol $maxNumIter <$printFlag>

$tol

convergence tolerance

$maxNumIter

maximum number of iterations that will be performed before "failure to converge" is returned

$printFlag

flag used to print information on convergence (optional)

 

 

0

no print output (default)

 

 

1

print information on each step

 

 

2

print information when convergence has been achieved

 

 

4

print norm, dU and dR vectors

 

 

5

at convergence failure, carry on, print error message, but do not stop analysis

The test performs the following check:
