Solving quasi-static equilibrium of continuum mechanics implies evolving the continuum system using the stiffness matrix K of the associated linearized system of equations; which relies on the initial estimation of at equilibrium (blue) or on updated estimations all along the deformation path using the atomistic system (red); reducing the frequency update leads to larger error on the estimation of u in between prediction-correction steps.
