TR.37.7.2.5 KG Matrix Iteration

Optional control to limit the number of iterations performed on the geometric stiffness, KG, matrix.

General Format

IKGITER i4

where:

Parameter	Definition
i4	The number of iterations to be performed for KG matrix iterations. If no value is specified, the program will assume the value of TR.37.7.2.4 Consideration of Geometric Nonlinearity Effect. If the value is one (1), the program will continue iteration until the solution converges. However, maximum allowable iteration is 50. If the number of iterations exceeds 50, the analysis is terminated.
