Reply To: Incremental static analysis in ANSYS Mechanical APDL

[Anita Amirsardari]

Hi Ashish,

Thank you very much for the suggested references. I am unable to find an example in the Verfication Manual for which a loop is used to incrementally increase the applied load. 

I am able to use NSUBS to run the analysis successfully, however, this doesn't allow me to create a loop command where I can check the stresses at each substep in order to implement ekill if required. 

Would you please be able to provide an example where the load is applied incrementally but at each substep it is possible to run a *do command to check element stress and execute ekill if the stress exceeds the threshold? 

Many thanks,

Anita
