When this option is activated, beams will be connected by the nodes they are going through. But when
4 nodes are inputted on the beams, it could happen that a node has been inputted in the middle of a
diagonal and another diagonal is crossing this one in the program and now they are connected. To
avoid unwanted connections, we advice to uncheck this option.
In some cases, a high number of increments may even solve problems that tend to a singular solution
which is typical for the analysis of post-critical states. However, in most cases, such a state is
characterized by extreme deformations, which is not interesting for design purposes.
The choice of the Newton-Raphson Method, the amount of increments and the maximal amount of
iterations can be specified through Calculation, Mesh > Solver Setup.
