CSM initial deformation FACV

I want to calculate CS with initial deformation with FACV but it doesnt work and i get following error

+++++ error no. 2021 in program CEIN ; input line: 18
Non-valid input at position: 10

but when I input FACV 0 it works fine, looks like erasing deformation works

What could be the problem?

Also when im calculating subsequent CS’s with LC ATIL -
The next stage is calculated with previous deformation and current (new load)
or the next stage is calculated from the beginning with resultant (addidtion) of forces from previous and current LC?

The basic function of CSM is to:

  • calculate a stage (just regular ASE)
  • calculate the next stage with the deformations and stresses from the previous one

CS ... FACV 0 is an override to null the deformations for a certain stage, e.g. if there is an on site correction/adjustment when launching.
So it’s only meant for erasing
