Info about various matrix solvers in IE3D

Hello All,

Could anyone please explain what are the different matrix solvers available in IE3D. What are the difference between these and when should we use each one of these.

Thanks

Hi: priyankguddu:

It is documented in the user's manual. Normally, you can use iterative matrix solvers (gems, aims, etc) for large and loosely coupled structures to save memory and time. However, iterative matrix solvers may not be as stable as the SMSa and SMSi. Please try to use SMSa as much as possible for general structures. It is very fast. Regards.
