Reset

*Reset
<subsequent line>

Use this keyword to reset the displacement to zero at the beginning of any step during a calculation. Optionally, the previously created strains can also be set to zero.

• <subsequent line> = Displacement: Set the displacements calculated so far to zero, i.e. reset the mesh to its initial (reference) configuration. All other solution variables (e.g. pore water pressure) and state variables (e.g. stress, void ratio) retain their current value.

• <subsequent line> = Displacement, Strain: Set the displacements and the strains calculated so far to zero, i.e. reset the mesh to its initial (reference) configuration. All other solution variables (e.g. pore water pressure) and state variables (e.g. stress, void ratio) retain their current value.
