Command save/restore with Steel02 material

Post by wuhaoshrek » Sun Oct 14, 2018 6:44 pm

Hi everybody,

I was trying to use the save/restore command to perform manshock-aftershock analysis for wall structures with post-tensioning. However, I found that the save/restore command works pretty well with conventional system while it was not working well with systems including post-tensioning (i.e., prestressing). In the post-tensioned system, I used Steel02 material with initial stress/strain (or using initialStress/initialStrain materials) for modeling prestressing. Right the model just couldn't save and restore as expected for the conventional system. So, is this situation appeared in anybody else's case? How can I solve this problem, thanks a lot!

HW
