Action > Restart

The action starts the AddCon function for optimizing certain schedule actions, mostly the stressing actions of stay cables for achieving a specified limit stressing state in the superstructure.

Note: At least one Additional Constraint must have been specified in the menu Schedule > Additional Constraints for using this action.

The action calculates the required factors for all load cases defined as "variable load case" in the menu Schedule > Additional Constraints > Loads in order to keep the specified result values within the specified limits.

SettingDescription
Action Code of the selected Action. It is possible to switch to defining an other action without leaving and re-entering the input function.
Action will be skipped (Option) The action will be skipped in the calculation process if the option is selected
Input-1 > AddCon number Number of the Additional Constraint (set of constraint conditions) for performing the optimization calculation.
Input-1 > (Label name) In the case of non-linear optimization, the action calculates the whole schedule several times till the constraint conditions are fulfilled within the specified tolerance. In order to avoid  the recalculation of previous stages, the action Store can be used for placing  labeled locks at appropriate positions in the schedule. If this label is assigned to the  action Restart, the iterative recalculation is started at that point, i. e. the previous  state is considered in the optimization process as a fixed initial state.
Input-2 > Tolerance Iteration termination tolerance for non-linear optimization. Ratio to the actual constraint value. E.g. 0.01 if the constraint condition shall be fulfilled with 1 % accuracy.
Input-3 > Ignore||Update (Option)
SettingDescription
No entry Standard; the optimization is done, the load factors corrected and the total stage analysis  is re-done with the corrected loadings
Ignore The optimization is done, however, the load factors are not adapted and the stage analysis is not repeated.
Update The optimization is done and the load factors are adapted, however, the stage analysis is not repeated.
Output-2 > List file Name of the list file, where the results of calculation will be stored.
Delta-T Duration of the Action (not applicable for this action)
