The cyclic-loading analysis is accelerated using the cycle-jump method (CJUMP).

Defining a cycle-jump involves specifying a cycle-jump control variable, jump criterion, and maximum jump. Generally, a higher jump criterion value can result in a loss of accuracy, while a smaller maximum jump value may offer higher precision.

Because the damage in this simulation is caused primarily by plastic deformation, plastic strain is selected as the cycle-jump control variable, and the jump criterion is set to 0.5.

The number of initial cycles is set to 5. The maximum jump is limited to 100 cycles.
