Restart analysis

Hi everyone,

I've got an analysis that takes a while to run, so I've set it up for the first 2 steps to be one analysis which has completed. Now I'd like to take the results from those steps and restart the analysis with varying loads and BC's. The problem is that while the restart file has been successfully read in, the node sets are not carrying over and I've double and triple checked to make sure I'm calling them correctly. Is there something unique to calling a previously defined node set? Is it easier to define a new node set? How do you do that without redefining the entire assembly and instances?

Are you using ABAQUS CAE for preprocessing? I have found it easy to restart using ABAQUS CAE. You just have to specify the correct odb file name and the step to restart from.
