The settings tab provides advanced controls for
the simulation

Linear Solver radio buttons control the linear solver used
to compute the simulation results.

• [DSS] The direct sparse solver is very fast but because it can consume large amounts of memory it is best used on simulations at resolutions less than 100000.
• [ISS] The iterative sparse solver is moderately fast and is fairly memory-frugal.
• [SnS] The Scan&Solve solver is the default iterative solver that allows visual feedback of the solution progress.

Precision value controls the relative error tolerance at which the SnS solver considers a simulation completed. Smaller values increase solution accuracy at the expense of solving time.

Material CSYS Display checkbox toggles the display of the material coordinate systems for orthotropic materials.

[Defaults] button resets the settings to the default values.

[Activate] button begins license activation.
