Hi everyone,

I'm doing a nonlinear quasi-static analysis (NLSTAT) composed of two loadstep. Usually I make modification on BC applied to the 2nd loadstep. It is possible to restart this analysis from the second loadstep instaed of restarting the complete analysis?

 

thanks,

Luke31

    Hi Luke31,

     

    I don't think it is possible to restart a NLSTAT subcase. But if you are running NLGEOM use NLRESTART to restart the analysis.

     

    Refer to NLRESTART in OptiStruct help for more information.
