Hi,
I have an analysis with 2 Load Step. I need to force Ansys to write result at a specified time 1.24 at second LS. For this I inserted a command snippet which is set to be executed at second LS only.

The macro is given below,

*dim,resultime,array,2,1,1
*set,resultime(1,1),1.24,2
outres,erase
outres,all,none
outres,all,%resultime%

Now I got the following error message,

*** ERROR ***                          CP =    573.764  TIME= 12:15:32
The first time point set by array RESULTIME for the OUTRES command must
be equal to or greater than the initial time.

In my macro, the first time point is 1.24 which is greater than the initial time of second LS . i.e 1.

Then why I got this error? How to correct this?

Hi Benjamin,

I have never used this method before but try

Outres,all, %resultime(1,1)%

I believe the way you entered gives a null value.

Thanks,
Nelson

Hi Benjamin,

You can give substeps in your analysis, and save all the results at every substep, u can divided the total time so that you get a result at 1.24.

This may be very lengthy process. but if your solve time is not very big this will help you.

for eg.

nsub,25,25,25

This will save results at every 0.04 step. Hence 0.04*6 = 0.24 (so 6th step will be what you are looking for)

I assume you are using MAPDL. Apologies if my suggestion is not in line with your expectation.

Thanks
Anjum

Hi Anjum,
Thanks for your reply. I am aware of this method and used to follow this method for simple analysis. Whereas this is a big model and I don't have that luxury to write many more substeps in my machine.

BTW, I remember that this macro worked well when I used this method around eight years ago. I feel, I missed something in the macro. That's what I want to find now.

Benjamin,

Can you just run 3 load steps and set the end times to 1, 1.24, & 2?

Dear xansys experts,
Thanks for those who replied my query. The issue is resolved. I am posting this here to share the lesson I learnt from this issue with the xansys community.

 The macro I inserted was correct only. The culprit is the number of initial sub steps, I set.

Basically the "outres" command will not make Ansys to solve a sub step at time 1.24.
It is the number we set for initial and minimum time step which controls Ansys to solve a substep at time 1.24.
The "Auto Time stepping" I set  during the run was "Prog Controlled". This setting did not help to solve a sub step at time 1.24.

Now I set the initial time step as 0.04 and minimum time step as 0.01. Now the time step control force the Ansys to solve an intermediate substep at time 1.24. This result will be forced to write in result file by the "outres" command, I used in macro.

To summarize, If we want to force Ansys to write result at particular time, we need to choose time step accordingly. Then insert the following command snippet.

*dim,resultime,array,2,1,1
*set,resultime(1,1),1.24,2
outres,erase
outres,all,none
outres,all,%resultime%

Hope this information may help anyone in our group.

PS: Special thanks to Santhosh Murugadass of Ansys India for making me to understand this.
