Solver settings

The Solver page in the Settings dialog box allows you to specify the solver method that is applied to the settings set selected in the Select the settings set to edit list.

Setting Description
Global Matrix Storage

Allows you to specify the global matrix storage method. The options are Compressed Sparse Row and Skyline.

Note:

We strongly recommend that you select the Compressed Sparse Row option because it generally reduces the analysis time, particularly in the case of finite element analysis. The Skyline option is provided solely to cater for the possibility of Sparse failing to work for a specific model.
