In the linear statics solution sequence (101), is there a way to get the results of each subcase to feed into the following subcase, similar to the way it automatically happens in the non-linear statics solution sequences (specifically 106)?

In the non-linear statics solution sequences (specifically 106), the results of each subcase feeds into the following subcase. Is there a way to replicate this in the linear statics solution sequence (101)? In 101, the subcases appear to be quite independent of each other. This particular problem is not making use of Super Elements. I am assuming this would require creating a DMAP alter to use the previous subcase results as "initial conditions" to the current subcase. I have a modest skill level in writing DMAP alters. Thanks.

  • Don, Thanks for that great tip. I have commented out all the MATT entries (turned out to not be so bad since the default temperature in the MAT cards was the temperature I needed). It now clears that hurdle, but has failed because there is a BCONTACT specification in the case control - are there really that many limitation in solution 106? Makes it difficult to share models between disciplines. Similar to the way you can get NASTRAN to print the equivalent PSHELLs after conversion from PCOMPs, is there a way to print or get what the BCONTACT gets converted to (I am guessing that would be equivalent constraints and springs)?
