            number of iterations allowed has been completed, even if the equilibrium tolerances are
            not satisfied. The default value is OFF.Warning:You should set **noStop** = ON only in
            special cases when you have a thorough understanding of how to interpret the results.
        useLongTermSolution
            A Boolean specifying wether to obtain the fully relaxed long-term elastic solution with
            time-domain viscoelasticity or the long-term elastic-Plastic solution for two-layer
