Syntax

integrator OALTS (1) [2]
# (1) int, unique integrator tag
# [2] double, spectral radius, default: 0.5

Remarks

This method is closely related to the Generalised-Alpha method (on first order ODEs). See the second reference for more details, also see 10.1016/j.compstruc.2017.08.013.

This method requires a fixed time step. The initial time step is used for time marching. For example,

set ini_step_size 1E-2

The fixed_step_size command such as

set fixed_step_size true

is not required and this flag is always true.
