Design responses (DRESP)

Some hints for Abaqus users concerning the DRESP command.

Load case dependent design responses

The general syntax for the LC_SET item in the DRESP command is

LC_SET = <approach>, <loadcase>, <substep>, <shell_layer>

For Abaqus users, substep refers to the increment of a nonlinear analysis. Substep does not refer to the load case number in an Abaqus step with multiple load cases.
