ISWRITE command with multiple load steps

ISWRITE command with multiple load steps

ISWRITE command with multiple load steps

(OP)
Hi All,

I am trying to create a initial stress file using iswrite,on so that I could use this file as input to another analysis. Problem is, my current analysis has seven loadsteps and I want to store stresses from my last loadstep(i.e. 7th). I have used LSWRITE, 1 and 2 and 3.....UP TO 7 and in /SOLU I gave LSSOLVE,1,7. But ISWRITE,on only saves stresses in first load step. I am using nonlinear material properties with KINH model. I tried to separate the loadsteps by giving individual SOLVE commands and putting ISWRITE,on at only 7th loadstep. But the analysis stops at first load step saying element 5457 is turned inside out. I can't understand what's happening. Real help would be much appriciated.

With Thanks
Coml
