solve! Solve with point loads and the *.RDB file is saved
! at the moment. The parameterized tabular point load
! FTBL is also saved into *.RDB

*dim,temtbl,table,4,1,,time! Define table TEMTBL and use it for body load: temperature
temtbl(1,0)=1,2,3,4
temtbl(1,1)=250,500.0,750,1000.
! bf,all,TEMP,%temtbl%! May use this to apply the body load table

parsave,all,moreload! Save all the APDL parameters and tables to file: moreload
! NOTE: *.RDB does not have information of table TEMTBL.

antype,,restart,1,3,endstep! Do restart ENDSTEP because we want to apply TEMTBL at
! TIME = 3.5 (LDSTEP=1,SUBSTEP=3) because we want to
! Apply the temperature load from TIME=3.5 onwards.
! Here, RESTART has resumed *.RDB database where the
! Table FTBL is saved.
solve! Activate ENDSTEP
