Reading through the manual hasn't helped me getting the answer.įinally I'll of course also need a file creation (*CFOPEN) and write command (*VWRITE) to make the file to import the results in Excel, but I'm not quite there yet.

I haven't been able thought to find out how to get the values from the contacts using the *GET command. I don't know if this is the best way to make the extraction? SNo = chrval(k) ! Bolt section as characterīS = strcat(BNoP,'_',SNo) ! Full bolt and section definition *DO,k,1,NoS ! Loop for each section of current bolt LC = strcat('LC',LCNo) ! Current load case nameīNo = chrval(j) ! Current bolt number as characterīNoP = strcat(Prefix,BNo) ! Creates prefix for each individual bolt LCNo = chrval(i) ! Current load step as character SET,NEAR,, , ,i,, , ! Sets the load step to read data from Outres,all,all ! Output data for all substepsCODE *DO,i,ExtS,ExtF,Increment ! Loop for load cases Mp,kxx,1,1.8 ! Define heat transfer coefficient I'm going to put up a new post to ask about the animation.Ī,1,2,3,4 ! Connect the keypoints to form area The commands are posted below, not including the animation step. Thanks a lot Biswajit your suggestion was really helpful. OK, I'm stumped on how to make an animation for this example. Plnsol,temp ! Plot the temp contour of the live elements IC,all,temp,200 ! Initial conditions, temp = 200Įtable,melty,temp, ! Create an element tableĮsel,s,etab,melty,600 ! Select all elements from table above 600 CĮsel,s,etab,melty,600 ! Select all elements from table ! above 600 Mp,kxx,1,0.001 ! Define heat transfer coefficient title, Transient melting by element death (conduction)īLC4,0,0,10,4 ! Create smaller rectangle (magma)ĪSBA,1,2 ! Boolean Subtraction (subtracts area 2 (small) from area 1 (big)) If you have any idea what this stuff means and how to fix it, I would really appreciate hearing it! My code is below. POST1 results may be erroneous unless you RESUME from a Jobname.DB file for this substep. No restart is possible with this database" then " Cumulative iteration 1 may have been solved using different model or boundary condition data than currently stored. Second, after entering the postprocesser, I got: "The current database is not from a previous solution. I got a couple of error messages (all of my code is below, with the part I got and modified from you in bold blue): First, after entering the code I got from you, I got "No DO trips needed, enter *ENDDO". Sorry-I know that this is probably really simple stuff, but I'm trying to learn!

I tried your suggestion and have a couple of questions if you have time.
