Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to terminate a job in Abaqus once the LPF obtained from a Riks step has reached a maximum. I know that a maximum LPF or displacement at a node can be specified, but this is not what I am looking for. Of course, one can get all LPF values and obtain the maximum value (corresponding to a limit load), but that can be quite time consuming, since the analysis can take a lot of time after the maximum LPF has been reached.
