You may perform the analysis up to the end time of 3 seconds, and then regret that you should have used a longer end time.

‘Gosh, I should have set the end time to 6 seconds!’

If the analysis time is short, it doesn't matter. But what if the analysis time is 3 hours?

It would be a big help if you can resume the analysis at the point where the analysis is complete. (Basically, you are saving a whopping 3 hours!)

RecurDyn-ICF-file-benefit  


Fortunately, you can resume the analysis at the end time when the analysis is complete, instead of starting the whole analysis again at 0 seconds.

That is, you can use an .icf file (initial condition file).  


RecurDyn-ICF-file  


Once you perform analysis using RecurDyn, a file with an extension "icf" is automatically created in the location where the result file is saved.

Before performing simulation, set the Import (*.icf) option and select this file to resume simulation at the point that was saved in the .icf file.  


This method can also be used in situations where the simulation has ended improperly due to blackout, etc.

In the same way, you can find the .icf file in the folder where the result file is saved, and the .icf file contains the analysis state at the time when the simulation has ended improperly.

You can use this file to resume simulation at the point where the simulation has ended improperly.  

  • RFlex supports this function in V8R4 or later.
  • Variables that have values changing over time, such as stick/slip, may not be supported by the .icf file.
