# Midas Civil Boundary and Material Nonlinear Analysis
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
Midas Civil boundary and material nonlinear analysis is the incremental finite element workflow for nonlinear supports, nonlinear links, plastic material behavior, and path-dependent structural response.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The analysis reference includes Newton-Raphson iteration, arc-length methods, P-Delta effects, boundary nonlinear analysis, material nonlinear analysis, and pushover-related workflows. Material nonlinearity is described through plasticity theory, constitutive matrices, stress integration, plastic material models, and hardening laws such as perfectly plastic, isotropic, kinematic, and mixed hardening.
|
|
|
|
Boundary nonlinearity appears through support or link behavior whose stiffness changes with force state, gap/contact status, or hysteretic rule. The nonlinear solve must therefore update both element state and boundary/link state across increments and iterations.
|
|
|
|
## Solver Development Notes
|
|
|
|
- Each nonlinear feature needs state variables, trial-state updates, accepted-state commits, and rollback behavior.
|
|
- Newton methods require consistent residual, tangent, convergence norms, and line or increment control policies.
|
|
- Arc-length control is a requirement when the load-displacement path passes limit points.
|
|
- Boundary nonlinearities should share the same active-state and convergence infrastructure as material nonlinearities where possible.
|
|
|
|

- [[Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis]] is the general nonlinear FE context.
|
|
- [[Finite Element Plasticity]], [[Plasticity Yield Criteria]], and [[Plastic Flow Rules and Hardening]] provide the plasticity theory layer.
|
|
- [[Midas FEA Nonlinear Solution Algorithms]] is the sibling product algorithm reference.
