Greetings,
My challenge is to come up with simplified model of lead rubber bearing and simulate for seismic isolation of a large Steel equipment.
I need a suitable element ( similar to COMBIN40 in ANSYS) which can simulate bilinear model and consider effect of viscous damping.
The basic...
Hi FEA way,
Thanks for your recommendation. I guess, it's solved now.
Steps I used:
1)Create a Reference Point at the location of CG.
2)Create Constraint
3)Constraint Type: Coupling, MPC ( TIE, Link, Beam etc ) & Rigid Body.
While doing a lot of hit & trials, I found MPC TIE is suitable...

Hi,
I want to extract acceleration response of the model at its CG which has gone under time history analysis. I have used frequency extraction step followed by dynamic implicit step. I have attached a simplified diagram which represents my model.
I can extract the response on...
