Submodeling

I am using the lastest version of HyperMesh and doing a non-linear static analysis with large displacement non-linearity. My model is large and I need to focus on a specific local area by importing the global displacements from the global model.

However, the "Submodel" entry is only available to me when i select linear static solver in the subcase.

Am I missing something crucial?

Thanks in advance,

Jamal

    Hi Jamal

    Please read this chapter in the online help.

    One Step Submodeling is only supported in linear static loadcases.
    You have to choose the "Two Step Modeling" approach for nonlinear analysis.
    Usage, see above example.
