SOLVERS: Linear Transient Dynamic Settings

Description

The Linear Transient Dynamic solver calculates the time history of the dynamic response of a structure subjected to any arbitrary time-dependent loading, including base excitation and initial conditions. The solver produces results in the time domain and considers dynamic and viscous (damping) effects. This solver assumes that the response of the structure is linear.
