Hi,

I am modeling a steel girder bridge and I would like to assess the effect of an increasing damage level on the remaining load-carrying capacity. Therefore, I want to increase the live load for each damage case until reaching the maximum deflection/ stresses for each damage model.
Is there a way to set conditions and conduct an iterative analysis until the conditions are satisfied? And how can output the load that satisfies the preset conditions?

Thank you in advance.
 
Are you using Abaqus/Standard or Explicit ? There are special tools that allow you to monitor outputs and terminate analyses based on their extreme vales in the latter solver.
 
Indeed, in Standard you can use the XIT utility routine accessed from within any subroutine to terminate the analysis based on a user-defined criterion.
