Comments

  1. A SUBSEQ command must follow this command.
  2. SUBCOM may only be used with STATIC subcases.
  3. Output requests above the subcase level will be used.
  4. If the referenced subcases contain thermal loads or element deformations, the temperature field in the SUBCOM must be defined with a TEMP(LOAD) command or the element deformations with a DEFORM command.
  5. If the reference subcases contain STATSUB(PRELOAD), then all of the referenced subcases must contain the same STATSUB(PRELOAD); the same STATSUB(PRELOAD) should also be used in the SUBCOM.
  6. SUBCOM is not supported for optimization. Use DRESP2/DRESP3 to create synthetic response would be the solution.
