<p>Hello Chandan,<\/p><p>Do <span class=”bold”>not<\/strong><\/span> restart an analysis from the end of a load step and then select the <span class=”guimenuitem”>Specify<\/strong><\/span> option to save the restart points for the following load step. For example, do not restart an analysis from the end of a load step 2 and set the <span class=”guimenuitem”>Specify<\/strong><\/span> option to <span class=”guimenuitem”>Load Step 3<\/strong><\/span>. <\/p><p>Here’s what document tells about retaining files after full solve:<\/p><p>When restart points are requested, the necessary restart files are always retained for an incomplete solve due to a convergence failure or user request. However, when the solve completes successfully, you have the option to request to either keep the restart points by setting this field to <span class=”guilabel”>Yes<\/strong><\/span>, or to delete them by setting this field to <span class=”guilabel”>No<\/strong><\/span>. You can control this setting here in the Details view of the <span class=”guilabel”>Analysis Settings<\/strong><\/span> object, or under <span class=”guimenu”>Tools> Options<\/strong><\/span> in the <span class=”guilabel”>Analysis Settings and Solution<\/strong><\/span><\/a> preferences list. The setting in the Details view overrides the preference setting.<\/p><p>For more information, kindly refer to this link:<\/p><p>Restart Controls (ansys.com)<\/a><\/p><p style=”margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;”><span style=”color: #000000; background-color: #f2f2f2;”>Regards,<\/span><\/p><p style=”margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;”>Nanda.<\/p><p style=”margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;”>Guidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forum<\/a><\/p><p style=”margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;”><u style=”color: var(–bs-link-color); background-color: initial;”>How to access ANSYS help links<\/a><\/u><\/p><p style=”margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;”> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-291610","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
