Reply To: Calculating only Modal Coordinates from an MSUP Transient Analysis in Mechanical

[dlooman]

That makes sense and should have worked.  I'm worried thought that Mechanical may have over-written your outres command.  You could verify that by looking at the ds.dat file.  The mode-sup analysis is a two step process.  An initial solution is done to set the time step and do a mode-sup static analysis of any non-zero loads.  The second solution is the transient analysis.  Mechanical reissues its own outres command at the beginning of every load step so your outres command may have only applied to the first load step.  There's an option in the commands details to issue the commands every load step.
