The Jacobi Method

[hoshang]

Hi,
Re Example 11.9 from Klaus-Jurgen Bathe's Finite Element Procedures textbook,
in first sweep, I could get big lambda and big phi,
in second sweep, I could get big lambda, but failed getting big phi,
in third sweep, I could get big lambda, but failed getting big phi,
Does this make sense? How can I get the correct big phi in second and third sweep?
If needed, I can post my calculations.

How else would anyone even being to guess at what might be wrong?

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

Hi,
Have you reviewed Example 11.9? Did you try it yourself? In My OP, I stated If needed, I can post my calculations.
So, here's a link to my calculations for the second sweep:
