Quasi-static integration schemes

Description

In this case, inertial forces $F^{inert}$ are neglected. The equation $F^{int}=F^{ext}$ is then solved iteratively for each time test required.

Data set

Old Metafor Version <= 2422

No commands are required, quasi-static integration is the default one. If the parameter MDE_NDYN is defined in the test case, its value must be 0.

New Metafor Version > 2422

The quasi-static time integration procedure is the default one in Metafor. Even so, you can specify it in the dataset, as follows :

ti = QuasiStaticTimeIntegration(metafor)
metafor.setTimeIntegration(ti)
