Hello,
I was conducting a transient modal superposition in the time domain.

I want to do the following.I want to apply a time varying force on the beam say F(t)=30 sin(60*t)
lets say I start applying the force at time, t=1
time step size =1 say
Hence there are 25 steps?
I want to apply this force..can anyone suggest how I go about writing this in the log file?

Thanks,
Sudeep
