I am doing research on laser cutting. I am trying to remove/ deactivate the element after exceeding the melting temperature.

I tried by using following code.

/SOLU ! Enter SOLUTION

... ! Typical solution procedure

SOLVE

FINISH

!

/POST1 ! Enter POST1

SET,...

ETABLE,STRAIN,EPTO,EQV ! Store total equivalent strain in ETABLE

ESEL,S,ETAB,STRAIN,0.20 ! Select all elements with total equivalent strain

! greater than or equal to 0.20

FINISH

!

/SOLU ! Re-enter SOLUTION

ANTYPE,,REST

EKILL,ALL ! Deactivate selected (overstrained) elements

ESEL,ALL ! Restore full element set

... ! Continue with solution

But at ANTYPE,,REST it is not working.

Can anybody help me?
