Value alpha for arclength method

Post by GeoCham » Fri Oct 20, 2017 5:47 am

Hi all,
Trying to pass a limit point in my analysis with dispcontrol method and i am thinking of implementing arclength control. It requires a value alpha. What does that value describe exactly and how can one calculate it?
thx
