Hi,
I am not sure how many of you read the abaqus theory manual. If you read the theory manual on the direct cyclic algorithm they mention that the displacement response is a function of time, u(t). My question is how does it account for the displacements in different directions? Are these displacement vectors? The solution solves for Kc=R to correct the displacement solution, u. When they expand u and R using Fourier series, are they treating it as vectors?
