Main OOF Menu variables

deltaT
The value of the uniform superheating and the term which is multiplied by the thermal expansion coefficients to get a thermal strain. A deltaT of zero is the stress-free strain state. Default: 0.

fictiveT
Some element types have a stress-free strain that is independent of the temperature deltaT. Those elements use the fictive temperature fictiveT instead. Default: 0.

maxiter
The maximum number of iterations which will be performed by a single equilibration step. Control is returned to the menu when the number of iterations exceeds maxiter, whether convergence has been attained or not. See Section 3.1.2. Default: 1000.

tolerance
The tolerance of the iterative method used to find the solution. See Section 3.1.2 for details. Default: 1.0e-05.

globalK
A boolean (true/false) variable indicating whether a global stiffness matrix should be calculated (speeding up calculation, but taking up memory) or not. See Section 3.1.2 for details. Default: true.

preconditioner
Set the preconditioner used during equilibration. Section 3.1.2 discusses what the preconditioner does and what the options are. Default: ILU.

verbose
A boolean variable governing how much excess verbiage OOF spits out. Default: true.

seed
The initializer for the random number generator used in various places (e.g, /modify/select/swisscheese.) default: 17.
