Hi folks,

I'm doing a de-coupled thermal-mechanical analysis, i.e., thermal analysis first and then mechanical analysis. In the thermal analysis, I saved temperature and state dependent variables into output database and files.

In the mechanical analysis, I want to read both temperature and state dependent variables.

To read temperature from output database, one can use something like:
*temperature,file=**,bstep=*,binc=*,estep=*,einc=*

I'm wondering can I do the same with SDVs? If not, how can I extract SDVs in my analysis?Do I have to use Python?

Any clues?

Cheers,
dldhdz
