(OP)
Hi there,

I would like to ask if is there any way of running an old job with an additional step. Let's say that I run an explicit 2-step job with the input=oldjob.inp corresponding to the oldjob.odb output file. I would like to create an additional step after the 2nd step and instead of running the whole job from the beginning (3 steps), I want to run the only the 3rd step is possible.

What's the command sequence for something like that? Should I copy paste the old input file (oldjob.input) and add the additional step after the second step in the copied file (oldjob-copy.inp)? Will the additional step be written into the old odb (oldjob.odb) file automatically?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

ger
