For example, if you want to change a model that contains four Static, General procedures from an Abaqus/Standard analysis to an Abaqus/Explicit analysis, you can use the Load Manager to move all of the loads into one of the four steps. Similarly, you can use the Interaction Manager to move the interactions. You can then delete the other three steps and replace the remaining step with a Dynamic, Explicit procedure. If desired, you can create additional Abaqus/Explicit steps and use the step-dependent managers to move objects that were copied during step replacement to the appropriate Abaqus/Explicit procedures. For more information, see Modifying the history of a step-dependent object. |
