RESTARTR

I/O Options EntryDefines the reading requests for nonlinear restart.

Format

RESTARTR = <option> file_prefix

Example

RESTARTR = originaljob_sub5_inc0012
RESTARTR = TERMI, originaljob_sub5_inc0012
RESTARTR = TERMI, D:\tmp\originaljob_sub5_inc0012

Interpretation: the restart model information file to be read is originaljob.rmd and the restart analysis information file to be read is originaljob_sub5_inc0012.rnl. With the prescribing of TERMI, subcase 5 will be truncated after the increment 12.

Definitions

Argument Options Description
option TERMI, blank
TERMI
Truncate the nonlinear subcase at the restarting point.
blank (Default)
No truncation
file_prefix Prefix of .rnl file

No default

 Identifies the .rnl and .rmd files to be read.

The .rnl and .rmd files are named in format <filename>_sub<i>_inc<j>.rnl and <filename>.rmd respectively, where <filename> is the filename of the input deck (prior to .fem), <i> (0<i<100000000) is the corresponding subcase ID and <j> (0<j<10000) is the corresponding increment number in the subcase.

Comments

  1. If a RESTARTR entry is specified in the model, OptiStruct reads a restart model information file (*.rmd) and a restart analysis information file (*.rnl) to restart a nonlinear analysis run that was interrupted earlier.
  2. The RESTARTR entry can only be specified outside and above any subcase.
  3. For information on restart of nonlinear analysis, refer to Restart of Nonlinear Analysis in the User Guide.
  4. RESTARTW and RESTARTR entries can be specified together, except for the very first run (that is, the original job that is subsequently restarted), where only RESTARTW is allowed.
