ThermalCalcType Thermal calculation type -
Steady state thermal flow
Thermal calculation to determine temperature distribution within the soil based on thermodynamic conditions.
Transient thermal flow
Thermal calculation to determine temperature distribution within the soil based on thermodynamic conditions. This type of calculation uses non-zero time interval.
FirstTimeStep First time step Time Increment of time used in the first step of analysis.
MaxTimeStep Maximum time step Time Maximum time step allowed for analysis.
MinTimeStep Minimum time step Time Minimum time step allowed for analysis
MaxSteps Maximum steps - Maximum number of additional calculation steps.
UseDefaultIterationParams Use default iteration parameters -
True
Default parameters will be used for the iterative procedure.
False
Parameters used for the iterative procedure will be defined manually.
OverRelaxation Over relaxation - Over relaxation factor that is used to reduce the number of iterations needed.
MaxIterations Maximum iterations - Maximum allowable number of iterations within any individual calculation step.
DesiredMaxIterations Desired maximum iterations - Desired maximum number of iterations per calculation step.
DesiredMinIterations Desired minimum iterations - Desired minimum number of iterations per calculation step.
ToleratedError Tolerated error - Maximum allowed error of the numerical calculation.
IsModified IsModified -
True
Indicates that the load condition file should be rewritten.
False
Indicates that the load condition file shouldn't be rewritten.
