The Incrementation tab(增量步含义解释).docVIP

When you configure(配置、设定) general procedures（一般程序）, you use the Basic tab in the step editor to enter the total time period for the step. You use the Incrementation tab to configure the approach that Abaqus will use to divide the total time period for the step into increments. For a general, static step as well as for many other kinds of steps you can set the following options on the Incrementation tabbed page（标签页）: Time incrementation When you choose Automatic time incrementation, Abaqus starts the incrementation using the value entered for the initial increment size. The size of subsequent time increments are adjusted based on how quickly the solution converges（解的收敛速度）. This option is the default selection. When you choose Fixed time incrementation, Abaqus uses the value entered for the initial increment size throughout the step. Warning:? Choosing Fixed time incrementation may prevent the solution from converging（收敛解） and is not recommended（不推荐）. Maximum number of increments Abaqus limits the number of increments in a step to the value that you enter for the maximum number of increments. If the step exceeds this number of increments, the analysis stops, and diagnostic information（诊断信息） is reported to the Job module and written to the message file. By default, Abaqus/CAE sets the maximum number of increments to 100. Initial increment size Abaqus starts the step using the value entered for the initial increment size. Minimum increment size Abaqus checks for the minimum increment size only when you analyze your model using automatic time incrementation. If Abaqus needs a smaller time increment than this value to reach a convergent solution, it terminates the analysis, （中止分析）reports to the Job module, and writes diagnostic information to the message file. If you do not enter a minimum increment size, Abaqus uses 10-5 times the total time period. Maximum increment size Abaqus checks for the maximum increment size only when you analyze your model using automatic time
