Benefits: The iterative linear equation solver can now be used in the quasi-static analysis procedure.
Description: The quasi-static analysis procedure that is used for problems with time-dependent material response (creep, swelling, viscoelasticity, and two-layer viscoplasticity) can now use the iterative linear equation solver. For large, well-conditioned problems the iterative solver is likely to be faster than the direct equation solver for quasi-static analysis.
