Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding EndTime settings between Analysis Settings and Commands Object as follows.

In the Analysis Settings, I leave EndTime = 1s by default

I use Commands Object to impose the load and set the EndTime as follows:

*DIM,loadvari69y,TABLE,2,1,1,TIME,
! Time values
loadvari69y(1,0,1) = 0.
loadvari69y(2,0,1) = 0.5
! Load values
loadvari69y(1,1,1) = 0.
loadvari69y(2,1,1) = 100.

f,abc,fy,%loadvari69y%
time,0.5
nsub,5
solve


I try the following cases:

1. EndTime in Commands Object smaller than EndTime in Analysis Settings
2. EndTime in Commands Object is greater than or equal to EndTime in Analysis Settings

Result:

1. In the first case, the error message is as shown below

2. Case 2, the solution is complete and the results can be exploited. But checking in the solve.out file still has the same error.

So what is the relationship between EndTime in Analysis Settings and Commands Object? How to handle the above error?

Project in the attached file.

Thanks.
