Optistruct -stop nonlinear analysis (LGDISP) at reached Force

lucariga

Hi at all,

As title, there is a way to run a nonlinear analysis (LGDISP) using an imposed displacement to generate a load on a structure (for example a simple press) and stop the simulation when the analysis at a certain node (reaction force node) reach a specific force value?

Thanks

by using imposed disp, i can't think in a way of stopping at this force.

I assme that you don't want to use force based load, due to convergence, am I right?
