Filling and solving the set of equations, storing the results

In this section a distinction is made between the types of analysis and the solver used:

• for linear static calculations with SPOOLES or the iterative solver the appropriate routine is prespooles.c
• for nonlinear static or dynamic calculations (which implies the use of SPOOLES or the iterative solver) routine nonlingeo.c is called. This includes all thermal calculations.
• for frequency analysis without cyclic symmetry routine arpack.c is called.
• for a frequency analysis with cyclic symmetry conditions the appropriate routine is arpackcs.c
• for a buckling analysis arpackbu.c is called
• for linear dynamic calculations (i.e. modal dynamic analysis) the routine is dyna.c
• finally, for steady state dynamics calculations the routine is steadystate.c
