Abstract
This presentation describes a modified version of an implicit algorithm for nonlinear MDF systems. The algorithm employs a variable time step, and an improved equation solver; which were not included in the pilot version. A BASIC program, which implements the algorithm, offers a selection of convergence criteria that allow the user to obtain improved performance according to his needs.
