    Hi,

     

    as far as I know, OptiStruct OP2 file has no support to NL incremental results, so far.

    The only workaround, not good at all, would be to break your load into smaller pieces and run multiple NL loadcases, using CNTNLSUB for continuing each other. But, it is painful.

    Do you mind sharing why do you need it specifically in OP2 format? Maybe there can be some other option.
