Description

$\mathtt{KREST}$The restart key.
$=1$assemble and factorize the global stiffness matrix, then solve for all load cases
$=2$solve for additional load cases only
$\mathtt{KSOL}$The linear solution method key.
$=1$direct frontal solver (default)
$=2$parallel sparse direct solver
$\mathtt{PIVAL}$The minimum allowed pivot value in the matrix factorization. The default value is $10^{-6}.$
Note
The prerequisites for using $\mathtt{KREST}=2$ are:
i) the global stiffness matrix has already been factorized, i.e., the program has run at least once with $\mathtt{KREST}=1,$
ii) the additional load cases have already been processed by the program RPD2/3 with $\mathtt{KREST}=2,$
iii) the additional right-hand side vectors have already been assembled by the program SRH2/3 with $\mathtt{KREST}=2.$
