Hi to all
My question is how to use inisitate command:
Assume we have 3parts. part1=plate1 , part2=tool2, part3=tool3. If we run an analysis using part1 and part2 .afterwards we want to run subsequent analysis between the same part ( part1) and part3. is it possible we write stress and strain for elements of part 1 and then use it as initial state in new analysis between part1 and part3?. Because by doing so we want to take out ekill command for part2 in second analysis. I approximately am familiar with inistate command but I used it with simple tensor. I would be kind of you if consider this procedure that I mentioned in the below and tell me what is the problem?
!Analysis #1
.
making part 1 and 2
.
/sol
select elements of part1
inistate,write,1,s ! is there a way to write all result includes stress and strain?
