Starting a new analysis from the results of a previous one

Post by dgale » Tue Jun 08, 2021 9:41 am

Hi guys,
Would it be possible to finish one analysis and then use these results as a starting point to begin the next analysis?
I guess that it would be possible to begin a new analysis imposing the permanent displacement from the previous analysis, but what I really want is to start the new analysis from the ultimate position of the hysteretic loops of the elements in the last analysis.

Do you know what I mean?

I'm waiting for your responses

Regards,
David

If you start a second analysis after the first (and do not wipe or reset the model), the state of the model will be retained. Or you can use database commands to save/restore the model, but not all elements/materials implement the appropriate methods.
