We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

In a Mode superposition transient analysis, why doesn’t Mechanical show deformation results when Outres,nsol command inserted through command object ?

      Command Object: outres,erase outres,all,none outres,nsol,all,nnew1 The OUTRES,NSOL causes the result file to get ready for U, V, and A data.However, since OUTRES,V and OUTRES,A were not included in the snippet, the solver wrote no V and A data. The Mechanical reader has a safety check: the reader feels that V and A data should be on the file.If the reader sees no V and A data, it concludes that the nodal degree of freedom solution is unsafe. This as a limitation of Mechanical, not a defect.Set “calculate Velocity and acceleration” to “No” in Analysis settings. Or add these commands too to the command object: outres,v ,all,nnew1 outres,a ,all,nnew1
