60.5. Analysis and Solution Controls

The cyclic-loading block of temperature loading is defined (CLOAD). The number of cycles for the cyclic-loading analysis is set to 600.

The cyclic-loading analysis is accelerated via the cycle-jump method (CJUMP). Degrees of freedom 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 10, and the maximum jump is limited to 50 cycles.

Because the global trend of the displacement is nonlinear., the empirical adjustment of minimum intermediate cycles option is used.
