Incremental load output

Punith Guptha

Hello all,

I am running a non linear quasi static simulation. I would like to get the incremental load results output from 0 to 1 in the intervals of 0.1. How do I define it in NLPARM Card? Can someone help me out?

Thanks and Regards,

Punith

hi,

 

you need to add 2 things:

- NLOUT for outputting incremental results (depending on the version, you can force the desired interval, otherwise, you will need to use NLADAPT  too)

- NLADAPT for controlling the maximum increment (DTMAX) to limit the maximum increment to 0.1

 

These are created as load collectors in HM and then referenced into your Loadsteps.

From version 2019.2+ you can specify a SET of time increments to be outputted, forcing OS to run at theses steps. Take a look at NLOUT documentation attached.
