I'm trying to write a journal file to repeat the same simulation by changing some load parameters, and write the strains results of each scenario at some specific nodes to a text file. Right now, when the solution starts, journal file moves to the next lines, and tries to open the results file. Because the solution is not over yet, it gives an error message, or opens the wrong results. How can I make the journal file to pause and wait for the solution to finish?

NX Ver. 8.0
Solver: NX NASTRAN
Journal in VB .NET

Thanks
