Applies To Product(s): BENTLEY HAMMER Version(s): N\A Environment: N\A Area: Analysis/Computation Subarea: N\A Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem In HAMMER V8 XM, what is the purpose of the "specify initial conditions" field in the Transient Solver calculation options? Problem Number 30664 Solution If set to true, then the program will use the values shown in the "Transient (initial)" section of the element properties, NOT the values in the "results" section, when running a transient analysis. So, you would set this to "true" if you wanted to override some computed steadystate/eps values with user defined values. If you set this to "false", then the transient analysis will be using the computed steadystate/eps results from the "results" section of the properties. If this is an EPS simulation, you should specify a particular timestep from that analysis for the transient run to use as the initial conditions. This is specified in the field of the calculation options called "Initialize Transient run at time ...". See Also
