CentralDifference Integrator ============================ The CentralDifference integrator is an explicit time integration method for dynamic analysis. Description ----------- This integrator is particularly suitable for: * Wave propagation problems * Impact analysis * Highly nonlinear dynamic problems * Cases where computational efficiency per time step is important * Systems with distributed mass matrices The CentralDifference method is a second-order explicit method that computes the response at time t+Δt based on the equilibrium at time t. Parameters ---------- This integrator has no parameters. Usage Example ------------- .. code-block:: python # Create a CentralDifference integrator integrator = fm.analysis.integrators.create_integrator("centraldifference")
