analysis with 2 steps

Post by Shahir »

Dear Silvia
I want to analysis an example with 2 steps: gravity & seismic excitation. The material model and boundary conditions are different in these steps.
How can I change material model and boundary conditions at the end of gravity analysis step?
Best regards
Shahir

you can change the boundary conditions by putting them in a load pattern and removing it using the remove command .. you cannot change the materials.
