Good evening Sir
1. I am running an analysis in ABAQUS, where I have a beam that I have modeled using 2D beam elements.
2. Now I apply displacements at the two ends and measure the reaction forces. These reaction forces are to be used by my Matlab program.
3. Next, I want to release the above imparted displacements on my ABAQUS beam and see if there are any permanent deformations or not.
4. Lastly, I want to again apply certain displacements at the beam ends ( to the same beam that existed after step 3)
This cycle is to go on.
Do I have to use a restart analysis? Or can it be done using two steps- one for applying the displacement, another for release of displacements- and hence avoiding restart analysis?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Rahul
I will just pass them on to you. Than you so much
