I am doing a seismic analysis of a bridge in ANSYS workbench. I need to use about 500 sequence steps to get the output history. By default workbench only allows me to give 100 sequence steps. I have RTFM and could not find a way to tweak its setting. If somebody knows please help. Thanks
Hello Thundersky,
ANSYS does have the feature that it does the cycle count for a given loading events. You will need to specify the loading events and number of repetiotions associated with a particular loading event. ANSYS will take care of all the load cycles and will do a cycle count using...
Hi asad93,
I think the software gives us the absolute displacements. We need to subtract the ground displacements at each time instant to get the relative displacements. But I am still not confident of the analysis. You are right if its an elastic analysis there should be no residual...
Hi,
Presently I am working with ANSYS/LS-Dyna. My problems relates to seismic analysis of steel joints. Like asad93 I am also a beginner with LS-Dyna.
I tried a some standard problems like a SDOF system, a single bay portal and continous column. I applied the seismic loads as acceleration...
