Annotations

$\mathtt{KMET}$The key of the solution method.
$=1$modified Newton-Raphson
$=2$BFGS (default)
$\mathtt{KOUT}$The key of the output to the binary file name.PLS.
$=0$only check the input data
$=1$after each load case
$=2$after each cycle
$=3$only the final solution
$\mathtt{NSUBI}$The subincrementation of load cases. The default value is $1.$
$\mathtt{NITER}$The maximum number of iterations. The default value is $10.$
$\mathtt{NINT}$The division of the integration step. The default value is $10.$
$\mathtt{KTPR}$The key of test prints.
$=0$none
$=1$computation trace (recommended)
$=2$trace + displacement vector after each iteration
$=3$trace + reaction force vector
$\mathtt{UTOL}$The convergence criterion $||\Delta\mathbf{u}^{(i)}||<\mathtt{UTOL}\,||\mathbf{u}^{(i)}||.$ The default value is $10^{-3}.$
$\mathtt{RTOL}$The convergence criterion $||\mathbf{R}^{(i)}||<\mathtt{RTOL}\,||\mathbf{R}^{(0)}||.$ The default value is $10^{-3}.$
$\mathtt{XTOL}$The convergence criterion $\sqrt{\mathtt{LSOL}}\max|\mathbf{R}^{(i)}|<\mathtt{XTOL}\,||\mathbf{R}^{(0)}||.$ The default value is $10^{-2}.$
$\mathtt{PENAL}$The spring stiffness for contact problems $[\text{N}/\text{m}^3].$

The program features an option to restart in the case convergence is not achieved in $\mathtt{NITER}$ iterations. For the restart, the program is just run again with the same (or changed) input data.
