3.3.4. LinearSolver

The LinearSolver performs a single linear solve for the global displacement vector given the assembled tangent stiffness and external force. It then computes derived quantities and terminates the analysis.

3.3.4.1. Overview

Solver type: LinearSolver

  • Method: single-step linear solution K a = f_ext

  • Outputs: updates state, computes Dstate, internal forces, commits history

  • Termination: deactivates model after the single solve
