Concludes the current analysis.

 

During matrix solution Map3D is attempting to progressively solve the simultaneous equations saved in the coefficient matrix along with any other equations describing the alternate material zones, fault-slip, creep etc. A converged solution is assumed to have been obtained when the maximum surface stress error and the maximum failure criterion error are reduced below the user specified stress tolerance STOL

 

Analysis > CParams > STOL

 

If the user is satisfied the current level of accuracy is acceptable, the analysis can be concluded by checking this option.

 

Extreme caution should be exercised when using this function as the results will contain numerical errors which could be significant.

 

Notes:

 

The distribution of surface stress error can be displayed by selecting

 

ID_SURFACE_SERR Plot > Surface Components > Serr   Stress Error

 

from the solve toolbar.

 

The distribution of failure criterion error can be displayed by selecting

 

ID_SURFACE_FERR Plot > Surface Components > Ferr   Failure Error

 

from the solve toolbar.

 

During analysis, the solve toolbar will be displayed when you suspend the analysis

only if the
