Changing Boundary Counditions after a Frame

[Ezio88]

Hi,

i use BC/Rigid Body as a forming tool. i want to change the translation adaptively by a python script.

is it possible to change this during the simulation?
or should i do many small simulations? How can I start a second simulation on the deformed mesh by python code?

thx

You can change BC during the simulation only with a user subroutine. UAMP or DISP could do that.

With *Restart you could take a result of a finished simulation and continue it with a new step.
See Abaqus User Manual 9.1.1 Restarting an analysis
