    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

    Yes, I'm talking about L2 Norm and H1Semi norms (or equivalent). Sorry for not making that clear! :)

    Calculation of Error in Abaqus - soil earthquake excitation

    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...

    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...
