    shell edge loads

    I'm applying a shell edge load on a hollow cylinder in the RIKS step, so I can see the postbuckling load/displacement curve. However I can't seem to be able to find the shell edge load in history output request or when I try to do an X-Y plot on the results, displacement is there no problem for...

    location of .fil files

    Hi guys, I am running static RIKS with imperfections based on eigenvalue buckling modes analysis, therefore have outputted the eigenvalue buckling results to a .fil file. However the RIKS job cannot find this file, i have copied the .fil into all the directories I have used (must admit these...
