Contours the surface stress error.

These components can be accessed via the Strength Factor Components toolbar as follows:

This toolbar can be changed to a vertical orientation by dragging is against either the right or left hand edge of the main window.

It can be changed back to a horizontal orientation by dragging is against either the top or bottom edge of the main window.

 

Selecting the clip0310 button on the Contours toolbar activates the Surface Components toolbar.

During matrix solution Map3D is attempting to progressively solve the simultaneous equations saved in the coefficient matrix along with any other equations describing the alternate material zones, fault slip, creep etc. The iterative solver functions by determining the error in the current solution of each simultaneous equation (the surface stress error), then reducing these errors by a process of successive approximations.

The Stress Error ID_SURFACE_SERR contours the current stress error on all surfaces.

The Maximum Stress Error clip0313 contours the locations where the maximum stress errors occur.

 

A converged solution is assumed to have been obtained when the maximum surface stress error and the maximum failure criterion error are reduced below the user specified stress tolerance STOL
