Responses output for static analysis (no optimization)

Dear community,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to print the responses defined for optistruct (as per optimization) to output file even if optimization is not performed (-optskip).

This could be very useful to verify a model, in terms of constraints fulfilment, without performing an optimization.

 

I know that it is possible to print all unretained responses to output file with 'RESPRINT = option', but this is not working if optimization is not running.

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks in advance,

Alessandro

    I withdraw my question.

     

    I have found the following behaviours:

    1)if I run the model with -optskip I cannot obtain any response in the output file

    2) if I run the model as an optimization (without using -optskip) but deleting all the design variables, I will have a normal static analysis as result but I will also have the responses in the output file.

     

    The solution 2) is what I was looking for.

     

    I hope this can be helpful to somebody. 

     

    Thanks,

    Alessandro
