I am performing a non-linear analysis (LGDISP - ON) with 3 steps (with CNTNLSUB - YES).

1st step - Interference,

2nd step - Loading using enforced displacement (via SPCD)

3rd step - NL-Transient analysis

 

1st 2 steps are getting converged (file without NLTRANS 3rd step)

for 1st 2 steps, NLOUT is used as below:

$
$HMNAME LOADSTEPINPUT 4"NLOUT"
NLOUT 4NINT 10SVNONCNV YES
$

Till this stage, all working good.

for 3rd step, I need NLOUT w.r.t. Time, hence command as below:

$
$HMNAME LOADSTEPINPUT 6"NLOUT_NLTRANS"
NLOUT,6,TIME,22
$

$
$HMSET 22 10 "set_time" 18
SET,22,TIME,LIST
+ 0.0 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07
+ 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 1.1 1.11
+ 2.0 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07

+ 6.0 6.01 6.02 6.03 6.04 6.05 6.06 6.07
+ 7.04 7.05 7.06 7.07 7.08 7.09 7.1 7.11
+ 8.08 8.09 8.1 8.11 8.12 8.13 8.14 8.15
+ 9.04 9.05 9.06 9.07 9.08 9.09 9.1 9.11
+ 10.0
$$

After adding This NLOUT card for 3rd step, it shows error as below:

*** See next message about line 253224 from file:
Interference_Push_NLTRAN_Seperate_T4.fem
"NLOUT 6TIME 22"

*** ERROR # 4899 ***
Unknown NLOUT field "TIME".

 

Note: above set no.22 is just a sample...actual table is quite large

Kindly assist on solving this issue.
