ABAQUS/Explicit Step Definition

Where the interface has been configured for use with ABAQUS/Explicit (see section 1.4 ), all step cards are output as follows:

*STEP

For ABAQUS versions 5.7 and later, the setting of the NLGEOM parameter is controlled by the second argument of the manual step definition in the 'PROPERTY LOAD STEP-DEF' command: 0 for NLGEOM=NO; 1 for NLGEOM=YES; 2 for no NLGEOM parameter. If no step is defined manually, then the following card is written:

*STEP, NLGEOM=YES
