Key

Subcycling key:

OFF	—	Do not use subcycling (default).
ON	—	Use subcycling.

Command Default

No subcycling.

Notes

Subcycling can be used to speed up an analysis when element sizes within a model vary significantly. Relatively small elements will result in a small time step size. When subcycling is on, the minimum time step size is increased for the smallest elements.

This command is also valid in PREP7.

Distributed ANSYS Restriction This command is not supported in Distributed ANSYS.
