Answer

The integration method is determined by the setting “Damping factor” in the "Calculation of Initial Conditions" command dialog, page "Solver Options", as follows:


- “Damping factor” = 1: trapezoidal method

- “Damping factor” = 0: backward Euler method

- “Damping factor” = any value in between 1 and 0: generalised theta method
