DEFINITION
NSTEP limits the number of solution steps which can be generated in a simulation. A simulation will terminate when MaxSteps steps have been simulated.
REMARKS
NSTEP is one of several parameters used to control the termination of the simulation. Other keywords which effect simulation termination include: EMAX, LMAX, SMAX, TMAX, VMIN. When the criteria specified in any of these keywords has been met, the simulation will terminate. MaxSteps must be assigned a positive non-zero value. If you do not want NSTEP to be the constraining termination parameter, assign a high value to MaxSteps. Applicable simulation types: Isothermal Deformation, Heat Transfer, Non-Isothermal Deformation
