Simple question about time period

Simple question about time period

RE: Simple question about time period

Are you sure the job completed?  Check for errors.

RE: Simple question about time period

Are you looking at the time INCREMENT or the CUMULATIVE time.  The increment in a non-linear analysis will rarely be 1.

RE: Simple question about time period

If it is less than the total time then the job may have ended prematurely (could be due to no convergence, or maximum number of increments reached). Read the last part of the .msg file carefully (or post .msg and .sta files).

(OP)
Thx all for reply!

I've read the end of .msg and i've undestand that what i believed to be the total STEP TIME COMPLETED was instead the TIME INCREMENT COMPLETED (so a fraction of total step time)!

That's why, reading...

TIME INCREMENT COMPLETED      0.175      
FRACTION OF STEP COMPLETED    1.00  
STEP TIME COMPLETED           1.00
TOTAL TIME COMPLETED          1.00   

...i believed that analisys ended before total period time that i imposed in abaqus/cae!
