I want to retrieve the results (deformations, stresses, inverse reserve factors) at the previous substep since my analysis is giving me some convergence errors at the next substep. For example, at 0.9 sec my analysis is not converging but has converged at 0.8 sec (previous substep) and I want to observe the results at 0.8 sec. How can I do that? I inserted deformation, stress and inverse reserve factor result into the solution tree after my solution didn't converge at 0.9 sec, and I changed the display time for each of these results to 0.8 sec (the last substep at which the analysis has converged). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the results at this substep.

Can anyone please guide me on how can I do this?

,can you please help me on this one?

Did you change from the default Analysis setting of storing results at all time points?
If that is the setting, then you look at the Tabular data for any result such as Deformation. In the Time column of the table will be a row for 0.8 s and if you right click on that row, you can Retrieve this Result.

,yes I switched to All Time Points. Will I be able to look at the Tabular data for, say, eqv. stress even if my analysis has not converged?

Yes, you will be able to look at any converged substep and you can look at the unconverged substep also, knowing that the results can't be trusted.

,unfortunately i wasn't able to see the tabular data in the 'deformation', 'stress', or 'inverse reserve factor'. It was completely blank, with no time substeps written there. I guess I can directly use the result set input for these results.
