Multi-Step analysis with 2 submodels?

[saucke]

I'm trying to do a multi-step analysis with Cohesive elements. I want the damage from the first load step to carry through to the second. The thing is I have two global models (one for each step). Is it possible to declare a sub-model boundary condition in both steps that refer to the correct global model?

Something like this?:

Italic text is the option I'm looking for....

STEP 1:
*BOUNDARY, STEP=1,SUBMODEL, GLOBAL = FIRST GLOBAL MODEL

STEP 2:
*BOUNDARY, STEP=1,SUBMODEL, GLOBAL = SECOND GLOBAL MODEL


I've looked through the documentation and keyword and as far as I can tell the option for this doesnt exist, but I haven't found anything saying it can't be done.

Thanks

Title should be : Multi-Step analysis with 2 GLOBAL models. Can't edit it...

Coming back to this issue again.

Anybody have an idea?
