Hello,

how do I get the time at a specific substep with APDL commands? The *Get command does not seem to solve this problem.

Background: I want to fill an array with size = number of substeps with the times at the specific substeps in post processing

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Yes, we can get the time by setting (set command) the desired substep to look at

SO below we look at substep=2 (out of 3).

/post1
substep=2
*GET, my_lsteps, ACTIVE, 0, SET, LSTP
*GET, my_nsteps, ACTIVE, 0, SET, SBST

set,my_lsteps,substep ! sets the specific load and sub-step
*GET, my_time, ACTIVE, 0, SET, TIME

Hope this helps
