Hello Feap users
I have some questions about feap restart file
1) For example I do one time increment and then create the restart file, later I do second increment by reading restart file , does feap only need restart file or it additionally uses output file created for 1st increment, to execute the next step
2) Can I modify the contents of the FEAP restart file, I m doing some state/parameter estimation problem where I need to update parameter( e.g. material constant E, nu , yield etc) and state ( stress, displacement, internal variables) which i presume requires modifying contents of restart file
3) Can I change the boundary conditions in the input file e.g. in first increment I have compression, I save the restart file and then in second increment I read the restart file but with specification of different loading in input file e.g. tension/shear etc,
thanks in advance
