PARTITION + AUTO TIME

[Yaakov]

Dear all,

I would ask, is it possible that I can use partition command with auto time stepping in FEAP Input File?

Best regards,

It should work.

My guess is it might not be quite right.  If you do partion 1 with current time step and then partion 2 reduces step to converge then them solution is not at same time. So it is important to be careful

Dear Prof. Taylor and FEAP Administrator,

I tested a thermomechanical benchmark with partition & auto time command. It seems a little different (compare with fully solution).

I attached the test results  and input file for both cases.

thanks very much for your help again!

Warm regards,
Yaakov
