Topic: Option to stop analysis
Hi!
My name is Ricardo and I am a beginner in ATENA so I have a beginner question.
I am using ATENA 3D Eng.
I was following ATENA Tutorial 3D and in the post-processing phase I notice that the error stream (analysis progress information option) in analysis step 24 didn’t get convergence in 40 iterations. However ATENA didn’t stop the analysis. This is a nonlinear analysis so I thought it make no sense to continue to step 25.
If what I am thinking is right (please correct me if I am wrong), it would be useful to have an option that stops analysis when convergence criteria aren’t met in maximum number of iterations. This way it wouldn’t be necessary to check all the analysis step error messages and ATENA wouldn’t have to do unnecessary steps. Does ATENA have that option?
Many thanks,
Ricardo
