*RESTART

17.15 *RESTART: Saveand reuse data and analysis results.

WARNING: This option can create a very large amount of data. The size is estimated by

the analysis input ﬁle processor in an ABAQUS/Standard analysis.

This option is used to control the writing and reading of restart data.

Type: Model or history data

Level: Model, Step

Using *RESTARTin an ABAQUS/Standard analysis

Reference:

•“Restarting an analysis,” Section 9.1.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’sManual

At least one of the following parameters is required:

READ

Include this parameter to specify that this analysis is a restart of a previous analysis. The basic

model deﬁnition data (elements, materials, nodes) cannot be changed at such a restart. However,

element sets, node sets, and *AMPLITUDE tables can be added, and history data subsequentto that

part of the history already analyzed canbe changed.

WRITE

Include this parameter to specify thatrestart data are to be written during the analysis.

Optional parameters if the READ parameter is used:

END STEP

Thisparam eterspeciﬁes that the user wishes to terminate the current step in the analysis from which

the restart is being made.

This parameter is useful when the user wishes to redeﬁne the loa ding history,output options,

ortolerance controls, etc. Ifthis parameter is included, the data must contain further step deﬁnitions

to deﬁne how the analysis will continue.

If this parameter is omitted, ABAQUS/Standard w ill continue the analysis to complete the

current step as it is deﬁned in the run from which the restart is being made.

INC

Set this parameter equal to the increment number withinthe step speciﬁed by the STEP parameter,

after which the analysis will resume.
