Norm Unbalance Convergence Test =============================== The Norm Unbalance test checks convergence based on the norm of the unbalanced force vector. Description ----------- This test is particularly suitable for: * Force-controlled problems * Cases where force equilibrium is critical * Nonlinear static analysis * Problems with significant material nonlinearity The test calculates the norm of the unbalanced force vector and compares it to a specified tolerance. Parameters ---------- .. list-table:: :widths: 25 10 65 :header-rows: 1 * - Parameter - Type - Description * - ``tol`` - float - Tolerance for convergence (default: 1.0e-6) * - ``maxIter`` - int - Maximum number of iterations (default: 10) * - ``printFlag`` - int - Print flag for convergence information (default: 0) * - ``normType`` - int - Norm type to use: 0 for max-norm, 1 for 1-norm, 2 for 2-norm (default: 2) Usage Example ------------- .. code-block:: python # Create a Femora instance # Create a Norm Unbalance convergence test fm.analysis.test.create_test("NormUnbalance", tol=1.0e-6, maxIter=10, printFlag=0, normType=2)
