    How do I change loading rate to speed up quasi-static simulation in Abaqus/Explicit?

    Thank you for these responses. I have been working with this solution for some time to make sure I didn't have any other questions. It works exactly like I was wanting it too. Thank you both so much for your help, I greatly appreciate it.

    How do I change loading rate to speed up quasi-static simulation in Abaqus/Explicit?

    Thank you for the response sdebock. I have looked through the Abaqus documentation pertaining to the keyword Step and don't see anywhere I can control the runtime. Did you have something specific in mind?
