Solver Settings for Buckling Calculating

The settings of the solver for buckling calculating are carried out from the Command Panel by selecting (Mode - Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings - Buckling, Buckling - Eigen Solver).

In the Solution method drop-down list, select the solution method problems of eigenvalues. The following methods are available:

Krylova-Shura;
Arnoldi;
Lancosha;
Davidson;
Jacobi-Davidson.

By default, the method is selected automatically.

Since finding eigenvalues is done by iterations, specify the maximum number of them, relative and absolute accuracy (you can leave the default values).

At each iteration , the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations; therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate solver: direct or iterative (you can "trust" the program to do automatic selection). In the case of choosing an iterative system of linear algebraic equations solver on The command bar opens additional input elements:

In the drop-down lists Solver and Preconditioner choose the iteration method and the system of linear algebraic equations preconditioning method, respectively. Then in the input windows of the group Parameters of the iterative solver set the required values or leave the default values.
