Hi.
I'm trying to get nodal solutions at each substep within a load step in a coupled field (thermal-structural) analysis.
It looked I achieved this by using OUTRES, NSOL, *DIM and *VGET commands when I ran just one load step. However, when I incremented the load step using *Do(loop) command, I got confused with the way the commands were used.
What I originally hoped was I could continuously append the substep results right after the end of the previous load step but what my code actually does is it repeatedly restarts from 0 to the last time step set by TIME command at every load step. DELTIM,,,ON seems not working for that matter.
In other words, at every load step I start with running *RESUME command to retrieve output data from the last run and I want the 'time' also resume likewise. How can I do this? Is there any other way I can try?
Thanks.
