Question:
I have program version 5.24, and the calculation takes longer than in the previous versions for the same model. What is the reason for this?
Answer:
In version 5.23, the option to calculate the maximum strain was added, which searches for the largest total strain (as well as plastic strain in the case of nonlinear materials) for members, surfaces, and solids. The calculation of the maximum values of strains is activated by default. If you disable this option, the calculation should speed up.
