    Earthquake Oscillation

    Hi all, thank you for the help in advance. I have a square mesh in which I have inflicted a prescribed displacement to the central node in order to cause an earthquake type movement. My mesh is supposed to represent a square sample of soil. I applied a decay amplitude to this prescribed...

    Calculation of Error in Abaqus - soil earthquake excitation

    Hi all I am trying to model a 2D section of soil and apply earthquake excitation in Abaqus. I have a MatLab code that I will be trying to compare results with. However, I was wondering how one would be able to get error results out of Abaqus, i.e. the L2 error and H1S error so that I can...

    ABAQUS: Earthquake Ground Simulation

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience modelling ground motion from an earthquake in abaqus. I am not looking for analysis of a structure, just a small mesh where the applied wave can propagate. My questions are: 1. Is it possible? 2. Are the results reliable? I am going to be...
