This method modifies the SolverControl object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

allowPropagation

A Boolean specifying whether to allow all solver control values to propagate from a previous step. Setting this argument to ON automatically sets resetDefaultValues to OFF. The default value is ON.

resetDefaultValues

A Boolean specifying whether to use all default solver control values. Setting this argument to ON automatically sets allowPropagationto OFF. The default value is OFF.

relativeTolerance

The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the relative tolerance for convergence of the domain decomposition iterative solver. The default value is DEFAULT.

maxIterations

The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or an Int specifying the maximum number of linear solver iterations. The default value is DEFAULT.

fillInLevel

The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or an Int specifying the incomplete LU factorization fill-in level (for geostatic and soil analysis only). The default value is DEFAULT.

Return value

None

Exceptions

RangeError.
