Can linear static be reading from results file.....

[Duckjae_Lee]

There are two requests.

One is 

A customer requests to simulate thermal stress and contact force and vibration effect simultaneously.

I think that thermal stress and contact force is available with Linear static or MES modules.

Vibration effect (frequency response analysis) can be on linear dynamics module.

Can linear static or MES be reading from results file like stress data from linear dynamics analysis?

A customer want to show superpostion (add on) between linear static or MES result and linear dynamic result.

Is "restart function" be possible to do that?

Regarding to restart command or function, there are three functionality in help file.

I can understand first two function easily.

I expect that the third function can do the followings.

For example, cantileve beam case, left side is fixed, right side is loading with force.

Analysis is done and beam is bending and then we can put a load as force on last result status additionally.

Another example,

regarding to thermal expansion, we did thermal expansion with a part on linear static analysis and then we put another new part on last result status and run thermal expansion analysis again.

Is it possible with restart function?

Please let me know how to?

MES and linear static can not read stress file from linear dynamics analysis as pre-load. But in some multi-physics coupling problem, MES can read temperature and voltage from othter analysis types as loads.

"restart from another analysis" is designed for this kind of problems. But if you know the whole load configuration at the beginning, you can have a simple way. To generate two load curves, the first one is for the right-end force, and the second one controls another load. To adjust the life cycle or magnitudes of the second load curve, you can make it start when the first load ends.

I believe that no restart in Algor allows dramatic model change, such as adding/removing parts. Following a similar way as I mentioned above, you can have all parts in the model at the beginning, and make loads, constrains etc. start at appropriate time points.

Please let me know how to?
