CAE: Response Analysis

[aidangoggin]

Hi all,
I'm very new to ABAQUS and i am having a bit of trouble setting up a dynamic analysis.
I'm trying to recreate a harmonic response test of a model. I have the modal analysis completed and the results are satisfactory. I now wish to recreate the test peformed on the vibration bed.
It is a swept sin test from 10Hz to 100Hz, magnitude is 1.5G. Can I do base excitation in CAE? and if so what analysis, loads, amplitudes etc should i use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi xerf,

Thanks i will give that a try.
I may be back

Hi, haven't been back to this in a while,
can someone assist in helping me defining a SPECTRUM that sweeps from 10Hz to 100Hz. Can it be done? Is there any other method that can be used?

I have been trying do define one with no luck.

Also how do i view the results as CAE only shows one step.

Thanks
