Hi! I have made a transient analysis (full method) with load step 10 sec. and time step 0.002 sec. With "CONFIG, NRES,5000" I get all substeps in the Time HISTORY POSTPROCESSOR (POST26), but I get only the first 800 substeps (up to 1.6 sec.) in the GENERAL POSTPROCESSOR (POST1). Does a command exist for increasing the results in the POST1?
An answer would be a lot of help. Thanks!

Hi

The default maximum number of substeps in the results file (Jobname.RST) is 1000. When the number of substeps exceeds this limit, you need to issue SET,Lstep,LAST to bring in the 1000th load step. Use /CONFIG to increase the limit.

Regards
Garry
