GlobalPlasticityLoop

Initialization

EarthBox.GlobalPlasticityLoop.initialize! — Function
initialize!(
    model::ModelData;
    global_plasticity_loop::Union{Int, Symbol, String, Nothing}=nothing,
    kwargs...
)::Nothing

Initialize the global plasticity loop (Picard iteration loop]).

Arguments

  • model::ModelData: The model data container containing model parameters and arrays.

Keyword Arguments

  • global_plasticity_loop::Union{Int, String, Nothing}=nothing:
    • Controls the type of global plasticity loop. See the Global Plasticity Loop Types section below for information on available global plasticity loop types. If global_plasticity_loop is nothing the option id from the model data container will be used to define global plasticity loop type. The global plasticity loop type is stored in the model data container as an integer ID (itype_global) and a corresponding string name (stype_global). The global plasticity loop type parameters can be accessed from the model data container as follows:
      • itype_global = model.stokes_continuity.parameters.picard.itype_global.value
      • stype_global = model.stokes_continuity.parameters.picard.stype_global.value
  • tolerance_picard::Float64:
    • Convergence criterion for the global plasticity iterations (a.k.a. Picard iterations)
  • nglobal::Int64:
    • Maximum number of global plasticity iterations (a.k.a. Picard iterations)

Global Plasticity Loop Types

MarkerPlasticityLoop

  • global_plasticity_loop value: "MarkerPlasticityLoop", :MarkerPlasticityLoop, or 0
  • Description: Plasticity is defined on markers.

NodalPlasticityLoop

  • global_plasticity_loop value: "NodalPlasticityLoop", :NodalPlasticityLoop, or 1
  • Description: Plasticity is defined on nodes.
