! as body force. NOTE: table TEMTBL is not in *.RDB. Therefore,
! we have to use PARRESU command. APDL file "moreload" is

The following example input demonstrat es a restart after changing boundary conditions.

Note

If you are using the Solution Controls dialog box to do a static or full transient analysis, you
can specify basic multiframe restart options on the dialog's Sol'n Options tab. These options
include the maximum number of restart files that you want to write for a load step, as well
