CONTROL_IMPLICIT_SOLUTION
nsolvr=12 recommended.
dctol, ectol relative convergence limits for displacement and
energy norm
Set abstol=1e-20 to prevent premature convergence.
maxref, maxiter. Set maxiter=1 to get full Newton iterations.
d3itctl, activate to get d3iter database, where each iteration is
stored, makes it possible to visualize the deformation of the
unconverged solution.
arcctl, arcmth controls the Arc-length solver.
lsmtd different line search methods, use 2 or 5. Method 5 is
recommended for large deformation of solids, for example rubber

dtmax < 0 load curve (ti, dtmax,i) for varying max step length.
Each time ti is reached exactly. Useful for synchronization of
solution and loading.
