Settime = dt*(nloadstep+1) ! (+1 is needed)Įxecuted at all load steps. This is a pain, and I cannot parameterize any these variables (timestep, etc).Ī clunky workaround I have is to leave an dummy loadstep time vector in analysis settings, e.g. I have to re-edit this, and the substepping options, whenever the timestep, etc. , and insert that into the step control tabular data (Analysis Settings). The is problem is, to define the load step time data, I have to externally create a vector, e.g. (I'm not using USRCAL as I don't know how).
The use of load steps over substeps is so an APDL command snippet can be exectued at each load step to apply the feedback load. Background: So I have a transient structural analysis that uses a large number of load steps (>1000) to simulate a system with load feedback (an aerodynamic model which takes velocities, angles, etc.
