Add Damping Stabilization
- From the Stabilization Type options, select Damping.
- By default, the initial value of the damping factor is typically equal to the value that would be used for automatic stabilization with a constant damping factor. Alternatively, you can specify the initial Damping factor directly. The damping factor is adjusted based on the convergence history and the accuracy tolerance through the step.
- Specify the Energy ratio tolerance, which is the maximum allowable ratio of the stabilization energy to the total strain energy. If the ratio exceeds the accuracy tolerance, the damping factor at each individual element is adjusted to ensure that the ratio of the stabilization energy to the strain energy is less than the accuracy tolerance on both the global and local element level.
