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.

    Well, you are mixing new capabilities with older solutions! SOL106 does not have the ability to use the newer body-to-body contact capabilities (BCONTACT)... this is allowed in SOL400 for nonlinear or SOL101 for linear (and most other solutions for permanent glued contact).
     
    If you run SOL101 with NLOPRM MPCPCH=STEP (for touching contact) or MPCPCH=BEGN (for permanent glued contact) you will get the resulting MPC's for the contact condition. You could then use those in a subsequent run. Note that you are making the assumption that these MPC's are from a small displacement analysis and will also be small displacement in SOL106. For glued contact this is usually fine, but for touching contact, the initial deformations occurring prior to contact might invalidate the resulting MPC's unless replicated in the subsequent solution.
     
    Here is an article that sheds a bit of light on this (only related to stress-free initial contact):
