Tension in Non - linear springs - How do I measure it?

Dear sir,

I am modeling ligament structures in the knee joint finite element model
with non-linear springs and I am successfully getting non-linear
displacement curve.

My only problem is with the calculation of tension in the springs. I
have a set of non-linear springs representing a particular ligament in
the joint, which is having an elongation when I apply the forces on the
joint. I am giving pre-load to the springs so that they do not have any
slack in them before the analysis. I am also specifying the stiffness of

Convergence of a Solution

The Solution of a Differential Equation or a Set of Differential Equations Converges vers the Exact if it is Consistant and it is Stable : Lax's Theorem. Since the Exact is not always known it is convenient to apply this Theorem. Numerical instabilities are a result of Roundoff errors and Truncation errors. The Domain of Stability can be obtained from a Von Newman analysis in the Complex domain. This implies a condition (relation) between the variation steps.
