result output with non linear computation

good evening,

I am currently trying to run a computation on a beam section with fairly large displacements. Therefore I run it as a non linear analysis.

Because the model uses 1D and 3d elements and temperature and Displacement 'loading', the 'Geometric non Linear' analysis does not work. Instead I was advised to use the 'non linear quasi static' type and set the parameter LGDISP on (1). This will ensure the revision of the stiffness matrix due to the large deflections. With sufficiently small time increments I got a converged solution. However, I would like to output the results for more than just the final time step. Which parameter hast to be set to ensure a result output say every 10 time increments (I had to use 200 in total in order to receive a convergence)?

 

thanks in advance for any help

 

Rainer

    Hi Rainer,

     

    Result output for each increment or for a frequency of increment is implemented in the coming version.

     

    For now this feature is not available for 13.0 when using NLSTAT analysis type.
