hit specific time values with automatic time step incrementation

hit specific time values with automatic time step incrementation

(OP)
i am using abaqus 6.5 and i run an analysis with automatic time step incrementation. how can i specify certain fix times where i want to know the output values? help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: hit specific time values with automatic time step incrementation

You could just split the job up into seperate steps each of which was your required time for output.

This was an enhancement request that was addressed back in V6.6 (May 2006)

brep please tell me more please.

RE: hit specific time values with automatic time step incrementation

It is possible to request output in a number of different ways, now including at specified time points (they don't have to be uniform).

See section 14.12.2 (Field output) and 14.12.3 (History output) of the V6.6 ABAQUS/CAE Users manual

RE: hit specific time values with automatic time step incrementation

As corus said, why don't you split your step ?

Another solution would be to modify the default Dm factor under the *CONTROLS,PARAMETERS=TIME INCREMENTATION card (see Keywords Ref Manual) :
- specify an adequate initial increment
- set Dm to 1.0
But it is imho far more complicated ...
