I realize that this question was asked some time ago, but I am modeling something similar and am having difficulty working around this as well. I run an initial analysis on a column modeled with displacement based elements as you said. Once this is complete I then add new elements to represent the r...

I am trying to do something similar, but opposite. I have run a cyclic model using the displacement integrator first and would like to stop the analysis at the peak displacement and return the model to zero force (i.e. the residual displacement). The sequence that I have followed up to removing the ...
