Increment

Purpose

load incrementation and state advance under static conditions

Synopsis

[State,SolStrat] = Increment(Model,ElemData,Loading,State,SolStrat)

Description

INCREMENT load incrementation and state advance under static conditions
  [STATE,SOLSTRAT] = INCREMENT(MODEL,ELEMDATA,LOADING,STATE,SOLSTRAT)
  the function increments the applied loading and determines the corresponding displacement
  increments under static conditions;
  information about the state of the structure is updated in STATE and
  information about parameters of solution strategy are updated in SOLSTRAT;
  MODEL is a data structure with information about the structural model, ELEMDATA is
  a cell array with element properties, and LOADING is a data structure with information
  about applied force and imposed displacement patterns and corresponding load histories
