dear all i am solving a 1D problem in that i want to apply both force and moments at the same node..but its not taking both..whether problem is with defining load step? if so how to define load step for both?
Hi Nithish,
Can you share the input file?
Unable to find an attachment - read this blog
I think in your case it would give effect of moment only. If you want to effect of Force then create one more loadstep with load defining forces.& if you want to effect of both force and moment then use LOAD card & create one more load step.
thank you for the information..can you be more clear on how to create one more load step? i want the effect of both force and moment..
PFA updated file.You can make use of Global output request from control card to get required output for all loadstep.

sir thank you very much..i am using hmv11 the file you have shared has not been supported..i created a load step as follows
force---- specifying bcs and force
moment----- specifying bcs and moments
LOAD---- specifying bcs and LOAD card
i am just obtaining the effect of moment..applied force it still showing zero
let me try & update you.It should work for lower version aswell.
this file is not backwardly compatible with this version..this is the error it showing
file i shared was created in 14 version. Hence such msg.
yes sir..and i am using version 11
can you please just explain me how to define load steps properly? i will try to do that..
What material you are using & unit defined? is Beam length 113 mm?
Material parameter for steel which you enter seem to be not correct.
I provide Steel mat prop for E, Nu & Rho & run analysis.I believe share setup would help you to understand structure. (All Hm 11 generated file attahced below)
Requesting you to refer Optistruct online tutorials.
i think no error with material prop..all i converted to inch and lbs..E rho everything
my results are matching sir, thank you very much for your kind support
Thanks for the update.
