Restart ansys analysis

[RLLEDF]

Dear all,

I try to restart an analysis form his last step. I want to apply another load step from the previous state of stress.
At the end of the second analysis I would have the state of stress matching with the addition of the two loads steps.

My analysis run with out any error but the result a the end of the second analysis matching with the state of stress of the second load steps only.

My code :

/prep7
! geometry, materials…

/solu !first calcul
ANTYPE,TRANS
! loads


OUTRES,ALL,LAST
RESCONTROL,DEFINE,ALL
SAVE
FINISH

/solu ! second laods step
ANTYPE,,rest,1,20 ! restart at loads step 1, substep 20
! loads

ALLSEL,all
SOLVE

SAVE
FINISH

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You have to use TIME command between load steps. Take a look on it help command since there is some limitations regarding transient analysis.

Take a look also in SET command in order to garantee that you are post processing the right load step.
