I'm running an analysis that I'd like output for at specific time instances, but would rather avoid using a constant time step since a large portion of the analysis has relatively low loads, but some parts require a fine time step (this is reflected in the points I want). I've tried using the *TIME POINTS keyword option, but I'm running my analysis using the Co-simulation Engine to apply loads calculated by an external code. The documentation mentions that the cosimulation engine may cause abaqus to ignore the time points option. This appears to be the case since it only outputs at the time points that it happens to fall on rather than adjusting the time step to hit them all. Has anyone run into this before?
