Relative Total Norm Disp Incr Convergence Test
The Relative Total Norm Disp Incr test checks convergence based on the ratio of the norm of the displacement increment vector to the norm of the total displacement vector.
Description
This test is particularly suitable for:
Problems with cumulative displacement changes
Cases where total displacement history is important
Nonlinear static analysis
Problems with significant geometric changes
The test calculates the ratio of the displacement increment norm to the total displacement norm and compares it to a specified tolerance.
