Initial acceleration & Newmark method

Post by yaqiang.jiang »

Hi Frank,

I didn't find where and how the initial acceleration is calculated in Newmark.cpp.The initial acceleration is necessary to get the correct load vector at n+1 step (Eqn 11.13-5, Cook's book 4ed). Bunch of thanks in advance for your explanation.
