To add a change command which is required for
performing a subsequent analysis command, use the following procedure.
A change command is
only added after an analysis command.
In addition to
being used for a new analysis, the change command is used to change the support
conditions, active/inactive member status, load conditions, etc. The stiffness
matrix being solved will be reset when a change command is used.

Either:
-
select the
Analysis page
- on
the
Analysis and Design ribbon tab, select the
Analysis Commands tool in the
Analysis Data group
The
Analysis/Print Commands dialog
opens.
-
Select the
Change tab.
- Optional:
Check the
After Current option if you previously
selected the analysis command in the input file list within the
Analysis - Whole Structure dialog.
This option allows you to specify specifically where the command
is added. Otherwise it will be added to the end of the input file.

Click
Add.
The change command is added to the input file.
You can now add an additional analysis command to the input file. A
change command with no subsequent analysis command has no effect.
