It is a two step problem. I need to use the first step results as the second step initial conditions. Althought the geometry and meshing has not been changed, but the material has been changed for the second step.
How can I do with it?
Thanks a lot!

The mat.prop change is not an approved strategy but works fine by me. If its a large analysis u can save restart info and start with whatever properties u want in step 2..

I tried, and it didn't work.
BTW, the ANSYS I am using is ANSYS Professional, which doesn't allow nonlinear analysis, is this the reason why I can not carry the results forward?
Thanks a lot!
No, i dont think so. As i can see its only the nonlinear part missing. Normally i just add loads , save LS , solve current LS, Apply new loads , save , solve....
Do u get any error message ?
btw. The new Workbench9 offers stepped analysis too. Easier to setup...
Hello guys
Do you think this method could be used to run an analysis involving initial stress file (file.ist) and other types of initial condition?
He used to run my script the following way but I am not happy with results
....
read,file.ist
Apply initial conditions
Solve
Do I have to understand the right way is the following?
....
read,file.ist
save LS , solve current LS,
Apply new loads
solve....
