Unable to Get H3D while the Model is running

PraveenS

Hi,
I'm running a non-linear model in optistruct with the below options, but not getting H3D file to review the results while it's running like it can be done for Abaqus solver.

OUTPUT,H3D,ALL

DISPLACEMENT(H3D) = ALL

STRESS(H3D) = YES

NLOUT with TIME option for OUTPUT

SET 34 TIME

• 0.0 0.005 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5
• 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3
• 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0

I requested it for 0.005 but I couldn't see an H3D file written while the model is still running.

Please help, Thanks!

Hi ,

You can do it in two ways.

1. Define NLMON which will give you filename_nl.h3d and you can review the intermediate result when the job is still running.
2. Defile PARAM,IMPLOUT, YES. This will generate another file named as _impl.h3d which contains incremental results of nonlinear implicit (static and transient) analysis.

Thanks
