Your question sounds interesting, because it's the reverse of the usual way.
By default, field output is printed every increment. i.e. frequency = 0
If you want to optionally print output at selected increments or at the end, you write something different.
Am I misreading your question?
p.s...
If your analysis can't even get a step forward (total time =0), it is possible that your model is invalid.
* quick note: did you turn on "nonlinear geometry"?
I don't know much about distorted elements. If you are mesh savvy, use mapped mesh. (you can partition your model to guide the mesh...
Flag practically has no bending stiffness, torsional stiffness or compression stiffness. Also, how do you define it's natural mode of vibration. Can you say flag has flutter in the classical sense? I don't know...
maxmg,
There are so many reasons who your model didn't converge...
First of all, did the analysis progress at all? (total time >0 ) If you are stuck at t=0. Then it's possible that you have some over constraint or bad BC problems.
If you get to some point in a step, then get stuck, this is...
Hi Satyasrinivas,
I think you have to define a "node set" or "element set" in your assembly first. Then create a field output specifically for this set. You can choose which set to output (default is "whole model")
I hope I can provide a couple headers for you to start with:
1. Most efficient AOA for the airfoil is mostly like not the same as the same the as the most efficient AOA for the airplane. You have the fuselage, tail surfaces and their trims.
2. There are 3 cruise modes: the first one you have...
What you are looking for (simulate trajectory of the new fracture surface with predefined interface) is exactly what cohesive elements and VCCT supposed to do! (XFEM is fancier, with no predefined interface; I don't know where to get it)
Cohesive is available in both Standard and Explicit; VCCT...
You can easily simulate crack growth given the way you set up your problem - you have predefined crack path (interface), so you don't need predict crack growth directions.
As amubashar mentioned, you can use cohesive elements and corresponding traction laws to model the "bond" between the...
