5.10 Matrix input capability enhancements

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: You can now restart an Abaqus/Standard analysis using matrices or continue an Abaqus/Standard analysis using matrices after a data check analysis. The use of matrices containing Lagrange multiplier degrees of freedom is now supported.

Description: You can now restart an Abaqus/Standard analysis using matrices. In addition, you can continue an Abaqus/Standard analysis using matrices after running the analysis for data checking starting from the point at which the previous data check analysis run ended.

Matrices containing Lagrange multiplier degrees of freedom can be used in Abaqus/Standard if matrix data are included in a model from the SIM database generated by Abaqus/Standard. By default, using the matrix data in text format for matrices containing Lagrange multiplier degrees of freedom or other internal degrees of freedom is not supported because this feature can produce inaccurate results. The use of such matrices in text format can be allowed for some special cases; however, this feature should be used with caution.
