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...
Hi tkks2040, thank you for your reply; there is no immediate output (as far as I can see) that gives an error reading, only the stresses/strains. Does anybody know how to get the correct data (i.e. there would be either two sets of information OR an error reading) from this? It would not be...
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...
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...
