hypermesh optistruct - Nonlinear analysis run

[mohamed hassan 2014]

Hello,

Please, I am currently conducting a nonlinear analysis using HyperMesh with OptiStruct (NLPRAM and NLOUT), and it is taking a considerable amount of time. Therefore, I would like to stop the run and continue next week. Is it possible to stop the run and resume from the point where it stopped? If so, how can I do that?


Thank you.

I don't know much about OptiStruct, but most of high-end general purpose FEA software includes an option to "suspend" the analysis. Some even provide a mechanism to run the analysis in stages up to a specific point and then "restart" from there. Here are the controls in ADINA as a point of reference:
