Hi ,

 

How to divide the applied load into to number of steps in Optistruct Implicit Non linear analysis? & How to check the stress for the corresponding load step?

    Hi,

     

    To apply load in a number of steps in Optistruct use nonlinear quasistatic analysis. The number of steps is defined through NINC parameter in NLPARM load collector. Results data such as stress etc. can be requested through the GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST (Setup>Create>Control Cards) or for each subcase through subcase options>output.
