restarting analysis from step 2

[sps210]

My job in abaqus consists of two steps. First step runs fine. I am trying to correct the 2nd step. How do I restart my analysis from the 2nd step, without having to recompute the analysis for step 1.

 

[portliner]

create a second INP-file like:

*Restart, read, step=1
*Step
*Static(or whatever)
.....
....
*End step


The first job must include *Retstart !!!!


start the restart-analysis as:

abaqus job=restart oldjob=job-1
