LSSOLVE

LSSOLVE, LSMIN, LSMAX, LSINC
Reads and solves multiple load steps.

LSMIN, LSMAX, LSINC: Range of load step files to be read and solved, from LSMIN to LSMAX in steps of LSINC. LSMAX defaults to LSMIN, and LSINC defaults to 1. If LSMIN is blank, a brief command description is displayed. The load step files are assumed to be named Jobname.Sn, where n is a number assigned by the LSWRITE command (01--09,10,11, etc.). On systems with a 3-character limit on the extension, the "S" is dropped for numbers > 99.

Notes

This command invokes a Mechanical APDL macro (LSSOLVE.MAC) to read and solve multiple load steps.

The macro loops through a series of load step files written by the LSWRITE command.

This command cannot be used with the birth-death option, does not support cyclic symmetry analysis, and does not support restarts.
