This dialog shows the time step suggested by HAMMER and the adjustments to lengths or wavespeeds it requires. You can also choose to define a custom time step.

The dialog consists of the following controls:

• Time Step: The calculated time step.
• Max Adjustment: The maximum adjustment to wave speed or length for the time step.
• Mean Adjustment: The meanadjustment to wave speed or length for the time step.
• RMS Adjustment: The RMS (root-mean-square) adjustment to wave speed or length for the time step.
• Use Custom Time Step?: When this box is checked, the custom Time Step field becomes available for you to edit. Enter the desired time step here.
• Adjust: Select one or the other as indicated by your modeling objectives. Length is the default method. Wave speed may result in faster but accurate simulations of mass oscillation (slow transients).
• Adjustment Type: Select Absolute (e.g. length or wave speed) or relative (e.g. percentage) reporting method. HAMMER will use this setting to display the adjustments that correspond to the selected time step.
• Max Adjustment: Enter the maximum adjustment to wave speed or length.
