(OP)
hi,
I have to resolve a transient thermal analysis. The loadings are heat flows. In /SOLU, a *DO-loop calculates temperatures at nodes for each step. But i need to read these temperatures for each step (before passing to the following). For that, i must use *GET,xx,NODES,yy,TEMP who can be used only in /POST1 (because of TEMP). How can I pass from /SOLU to /POST1 then to return in /SOLU for the following steps?
Like this, it doesn’t pass:
/SOLU
*DO,i,1,n
Loads
TIME,i*dt
SOLVE
    /POST1
    *DO,J,1,m    ! m=number of elements
    ……….
    *GET,xx,NODES,yy,TEMP
    ………..
    *ENDDO
*ENDDO
thank's in advance!!
NB : my english is not good, so sorry!!

RE: from /solu to /post1 to /solu for all steps of a do-loop

You have a small error in your code:

*DO,i,1,n
/SOLU
TIME,i*dt
SOLVE
    /POST1
    *DO,J,1,m    ! m=number of elements
    ……….
    *GET,xx,NODES,yy,TEMP
    ………..
    *ENDDO
*ENDDO

Hope it helps!
Alex
