If you're running any sort of viscoelastic problem, you would need to save the entire state at the end of each run. I don't see what benefit there would be from doing this, since you would still need to finish each run to get all the state variables at the end of each chunk, and then feed them into the next simulation as initial state variables.</div><div><br></div><div>If your problem is completely elastic, I suppose you could run them in the way you're suggesting, and then use linear superposition to obtain the final result. What is your reason for wanting to break up the simulation?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Charles</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 7/03/2013, at 11:22 AM, <a href="mailto:BOK10@pitt.edu">BOK10@pitt.edu</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Is it possible to split a simulation into parts?
