Solution Algorithm

The algorithm field configures a SolutionAlgorithm object, which determines the sequence of steps taken to solve a non-linear system of equations.

This object defines the sequence of operations performed by the the Integrator and the LinearSOE objects in solving the equilibrium equation \(R(U) = 0\) given the current state of the domain at each time step in a direct integration analysis or load increment in a static analysis.
