Modifying Analysis type of a Load Step

Hello Everyone,

 

I am trying to find the right commant to modify the analysis type of a loadstep by a small script.

When I am looking for the cmd. file after doing this manually using the gui, I see the following command: *setvalue loadsteps id=1 STATUS=2 OS_TYPE=1

But nothing happens when I insert this command into my small code. No error message jumps up, but the setting of the analysis type will be not changed.

In the small macro I created it looks like the following:

*retainmarkselections 1
*renamecollector loadsteps 'loadstep1' 'temp'
*retainmarkselections 0
*setvalue loadsteps id=1 STATUS=2 OS_TYPE=1

But the result is just the creation of the load step, but without setting the Analysis type:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>56a8e156a380f_Analysistype.thumb.jpg.415

    Hi

    analysis type is stored in attribute #4060

    so you have to add this command

    *setvalue loadsteps id=1 STATUS=1 4060='STATICS'

    Dear tinh!

     

    Thank you very much for the answer!

    I tried it, but actually nothing happened when running the command.

    I see the Analysis Type remains unmodified as it is to see in the upper picture.

    D o you have any further idea?

    Thanks in advance for your comments!

     

    Bests, David

    Hi,

    Perhaps new GUI did not write enough commands to cmf file

    you can still use old method to update analysis type

    -delete cmf file

    -enter panel loadstep, select 'temp' loadstep, switch analysis type to Linear Static > click Update

    - open the cmf file to get relevant commands (remember to remove '(', ',' and ')' by space)
