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.

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?
