Tue, 2013-03-12 08:20 - Yellappa Nayak
Hello Everybody
I am in need of help in including multiple load step options in my c program which is a fem solver for contact(2D).
I do not understand how to go for second load step after the 1st one.
Its not clear for me what all i have to do, one thing i know is updating the nodal locations.
Please help me on this or guide to the place where ir can get help.
Thank You
