wall-structure compute-stiffness command

Syntax

wall-structure compute-stiffness b

Compute the stiffnesses to be added to nodes (default b = false). The computed stiffness is multiplied by the stiffness factor (see the wall-structure stiffness-factor command). When enabled, the stiffnesses of the contacts are not added to the node stiffnesses. Instead, the current node stiffnesses are multiplied by the stiffness factor and added back to the node stiffnesses. This provides a stiffness that is closer to a continuity condition independent of scale provided that the contact stiffness are consistent with the node stiffnesses.
