Hi all,
I have a linear elastic model with a stationary study whereby I apply a boundary load and deform the model domain - this is simple and works fine.
Next, I would like to use the deformed results from the first solution as the initial condition for a second solution where I re-apply the same boundary load. I hope to be able to see that the deformation builds up with each successive solution/load (I plan to repeat this 10 times eventually).
**However, I would like to know how to take the deformed results from the first solution and set them as the initial condition for the next solution?** and **Is it possible to alter the geometry as part of this, as the boundary with the boundary load is bound to deform too?**
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, James.
