How to use the Maximal Principal strain as a predefined field for a new calculation.

[xavierdestev]

Hello,

I would like to make first a mechanical calculation, get the maximal principal strain in a output database,
then read the output database with a new study, and make a

conductivity field
833 1

Where the first field will correspond to the maximal principal strain.

Thanks.

Use a report to write out the result extrapolated and averaged at the nodes and use that for the initial condition of the field variable.

Thanks for your repply.

I tried with *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=FIELD, VARIABLE=1, INPUT=result.rpt,
but i get a lot of errors. I tried also with FILE , but this option requires a .fil.

Well, read the messages and fix the problem.

I feel that the option INPUT only take .inp files as arguments.

This is the error message :
