You can use LCDT in *DATABASE_BINARY_D3PLOT to point to a curve.   That curve defines the desired output interval vs. time.   

Another way to do it is to set the termination time to 100 ms.   When the analysis finishes, you can then do a small restart where you only change the termination time and dt for d3plot.   In other words, the restart input file will have only these keywords ...  *KEYWORD, *CONTROL_TERMINATION, *DATABASE_BINARY_D3PLOT, and *END.  Â
