How to export all non linear implicit load increments solutions ?

Hello,

I have setup a NL simulation using Hypermesh 2021.2 and I have some issues exporting the results. 

I am interested into recording intermediate steps of the computation. In particular, I must record the displacement of 3 RBE elements to compute a rigidity matrix in function of the load.

To do so, I have created options NLPARM and NLOUT. I have set up in both load step inputs NINT to 10 (and applied them to my NL load step).

Then, I have checked the displacement output in the load step. I defined two outputs, one as default for all elements, and the second that I have limited to the 3 RBE. The second format is setup as PUNCH (to export it in excel afterwards). 

However, I have seen two issues I couldn't solve:

  1. The number of implicit load increments (in the default output) is not 10 has defined in NINT. Indeed, in Hyperview, I can only display 6 load factor's values.
  2. The .pch file only displays the last increment (even when I specify NINT in the output options.

Could you help me with extracting all 10 load increments ?

Best, Guilain
