How to get Convergence Plots!

How to get Convergence Plots!

How to get Convergence Plots!

(OP)
Basically how do I get convergence plots?

I've looked in all the menus and did various searches online but I can't seem to find anywhere that gives a step by step guide on how to actually get them.

Thanks in advance :)

RE: How to get Convergence Plots!

It depends on what type of analysis you're running:
Unless you add additional solution control options, the default solver for a static and harmonic analysis is a direct method, so there will be no convergence plots as with an iterative solver. If you'd like to get a feel for solution progress, you can check the .msg or .sta file.
If you're running an explicit dynamics step, it's finite differencing, so there it's only numerical integration.
