The physical problem is that of case (100), effected by: L(101) but the amount of memory available is further reduced by the command: NFMAX=-9000 As a consequence, EARTH automatically switches off the whole- field solver, and reverts to the slab-wise one. Consequently, many sweeps are needed for convergence, and the computer time is increased. The next commands allow this, and switches on the graphical monitor so that the effects can be observed.
