Hello,

I want to make 2 consecutive simulations :

1 traction, stop it, get back the result of this first simulation

1 bending on the result of the first simulation

So, as it was wrote on the help, I used STY-File

 

The problem is that I use User’s Material Law and I want to initialize the variable USER1 of the second simulation by the final variable USER1 of the first simulation.

To do that, I tried to put '/OUTP/BRIC/USER1' in the 'Runname_0001.rad' of the first simulation.

But, when I put the' Runname_run#.sty' in the '/INISTA' of 'Runname_0000.rad' of the second simulation, that only initialize the node coordinates and not USER1 as I would want. I have USER1 = 0 and not USER1 got at the end of the first simulation.

Then, on the help, I saw that If I used /INISTA with User’s Material Law, users variables should be initialized with the '/OUTP/SOLID/USERS/FULL' option in the STY-File.

So, I put '/OUTP/SOLID/USERS/FULL' in the 'Runname_0001.rad' of the first simulation. Then, I put the' Runname_run#.sty' in the '/INISTA' of 'Runname_0000.rad' of the second simulation. And, when I launch the simulation, I get the error message :

' forrtl : severe (64) : input conversion error, unit -5, file Internal Formatted Read '

 

Can I help me on this problem, because I don't understand how to correct this error ?

 

Than you
