    input acceleration time history

    Thank you, FEA way. I have tried the Gravity Load and, as you suggested, it works much better, but I wonder why... Shouldn't it be the same? My second question is the following. Let's suppose we measured accelerations at the top bar of a bike frame by using an accelerometer. Now we want to use...

    input acceleration time history

    Hi FEA way, Thank you for your quick reply. I have prepared a simple FE model to show you how Boundary Conditions are defined. As you can see in the attached input file, a vertical acceleration of 9.8m/s2 is suddenly applied at the free end of a cantilever beam. The load is applied during 20...

    input acceleration time history

    Hi guys, We have measured accelerations by attaching the cell phone to a bike frame. Now we want to use such accelerations to feed a dynamic FE model in Abaqus. The problem is that by defining such accelerations in the Boundary Conditions (combined with the corresponding amplitude), gives rise...
