Analysis

Convergence settings

Algorithm, test, tolerance and iteration limit for nonlinear analyses.

Static, pushover and earthquake blocks share these options.

How Carapace runs each algorithm: ModifiedNewton uses the initial tangent, KrylovNewton uses a maximum dimension of 3, and NewtonLineSearch uses regula falsi.
