How to use restart analysis in abaqus?
(OP)
Good morning everyone
1. I am running an analysis in ABAQUS, where I have a beam that I have modeled using 2D beam elements.
2. Now I apply displacements at the two ends and measure the reaction forces. These reaction forces are to be used by my Matlab program.
3. Next, I want to release the above imparted displacements on my ABAQUS beam and see if there are any permanent deformations or not.
4. Lastly, I want to again apply certain displacements at the beam ends ( to the same beam that existed after step 3)
This cycle is to go on.
I think I have to make use of restart analysis but my question is do I have to keep creating new models each time. The above cycle is repeated around 300000 times. That would be a lot of .inp files and models. Can't I have two models just interacting with each other continuously?

"Getting Started with Abaqus Interactive Edition -> Multiple Step Analysis -> Restart analysis"
"Getting Started with Abaqus Keywords Edition -> Multiple Step Analysis -> Restart analysis"
However, what is the purpose of these analyses? why 300,000 different load cases?

If you are only interested in the yes/no answer, then you just have to check the plastic strains. If they are larger than zero, then you will have permanent deformations.
