Workbench : Elapsed/CP time in output parameter

[Fpeyclit]

Hello everyone,

I am working on the benefit to use link element instead of contact element in term of calculation time.
I have some input parameter, with which workbench do calcul, and I extract some output parameter (Maximum elastic strain ...) from each calcul.

My problem is, how to have the elapsed/CP time for each calcul on this output parameter ?

I try to create a command line like "my_time=TIME" in the post process analysis, but it didn't work.
Any idea ?

Thank you.

Francois

try *get command : *GET,my_time, ACTIVE, 0, set, time
or if you need a time step :*get, my_time, ACTIVE, 0, solu, dtime

Thank you for your answer Stanum,

I've try your command but it return only 0 or 1.
But I've follow your advice and look the command GET, and the solution for my issue is :

*GET,my_TimeCpuContact, ACTIVE, 0,TIME,CPU

I think I'll continue to work with CPU Time, but if somebody have a tip to return elapsed time, it can be interesting for me.
