[Link]. Analytical method

Method is used for feature point, attention: parameter in this item is not necessary to be modified.

★ Judging method for yield:

Start point of yield: software will judge when the load exceeds the seting value.
Sensitive of yield: there are slope changes as elastic segment turns to yield segment. The range is
between 0.1 and 1, the larger, the more sensitive.
Quantity of successive judged points: it become effective as exceeding the start point of yield. Its
range is between is 2 and 20, the smaller, the more sensitive.
