Hi,
I am trying to model metal deposition by the welding process. The results from the previous load step will be the initial condition for the next load step. Following are the step adopted for the model:
[ol 1]
[li]creating the entire 3d model[/li]
[li]meshing the entire model[/li]
[li]killing the elements to be deposited[/li]
[li]setting-up the solution[/li]
[li]activating elements (one at a time)[/li]
[li]applying load and boundary conditions[/li]
[li]solving the model[/li]
[li]delete all surface load[/li]
[li]repeat step-5 to 8[/li]
[/ol]
Issue:
the result for the first load step is reasonable as shown in the figure attached, but for the subsequent load steps are meaningless
result of the last load step is only available in the general postprocessor
time history postprocessor shows error
I have attached relevant files and code.
If any suggestions, please let me know.
